International Conference On Advances in Civil Engineering (ACE-2011) At K.L. College of Engineering, Veddeswaram

About Conference

There is fascination of watching a figment of the imagination emerging through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it brings jobs and homes, elevates the standards of living and adds to the comforts of life. The expansions of civil engineering infrastructures such as dams, railways, high-ways, bridges, mass transit systems, ports, and airports form the infrastructure which aids in improving the living standards of the ever-increasing global population. Rising demands for energy, drinking water, clean air, safe waste disposal, and transportation require environmental protection and infrastructure development. Along with these, the society continues to face increased threats from natural events, accidents, and perhaps other causes such as terrorism. Proud of its legacy, the global civil engineering community cannot rest on its laurels. Meeting these challenges requires active engage-ment on a variety of environmental and infrastructure fronts. Dealing with these problems will require intra-disciplinary, cross-disciplinary, and multidisciplinary collaboration on projects and in research and development.

Continued advances in areas such as environmental engineering, water management, seismology, geology, offshore engineering, pavement materi-als, transportation engineering, concrete science, structural and geotechni-cal engineering are required to meet the ever increasing demands.

There is an urgent need for the researchers and the practising engineers to keep abreast of the latest trends and developments. Keeping in view the above perspective, an international conference on Advances in Civil Engineering is being organized by the Civil Engineering Department, K L University, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India, during October, 21—23, 2011. in association with Cafet Innova Technical Society and Indian Geotechnical Society, Guntur Chapter.
