22nd International Conference on Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology (SMiRT-22)
August 18–23, 2013 | San Francisco
The 22nd International Conference on Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology (SMiRT-22) will be held on August 18–23, 2013 in San Francisco, and offers a forum for technical discussions on critical topics facing the nuclear industry today. The conference will emphasize topics related to safety and reliability. Lessons learned from recent events, such as the earthquake and tsunami at Fukushima in 2011, will be shared in extended sessions.
The Call for Papers provides the key dates for submittal of abstracts, final papers, registration and description of the division structure, and the theme of the conference with its special extended sessions. Abstracts are due by September 17, 2012.

2013 fib Symposium: Engineering a Concrete Future: Technology, Modeling & Construction
April 22-24, 2013 | Tel-Aviv, Israel
The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) 2013 Symposium will be held in Tel-Aviv, Israel, on April 22-24, 2013. The Symposium theme, “Engineering a Concrete Future: Technology, Modeling and Construction,” is directed at innovative aspects of concrete engineering in its various stages. Abstracts are invited on the following topics:
- Advanced and innovative cementitious materials and concrete
- Constitutive modeling of cementitious and composite materials
- Design concepts and structural modeling
- Punching and shear in RC and in PC (prestressed concrete)
- Challenges in bridge engineering
- Advances in precast and PC engineering
- Concrete structures under seismic and extreme loads
- Pioneering structures and construction methods
- Structural aspects of tunnel construction and design
Andrei Reinhorn, Clifford C. Furnas Professor of Engineering, Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, University at Buffalo and MCEER investigator, is serving on the Steering Committee. Visit the 2013 fib Symposium website for more information.
