ABOUT THE UNIVERS ITY
St. Peter’s University established in the year 2008 is
sponsored by St.Peter’s Institute of Higher Education
and Research Trust.
St.Peter’s Institute of Higher Education and Research
continuously strives to focus on imparting quality
technical education and introducing innovative
programmes leading to Research and Development for
sustainable growth. Thirteen branches of Engineering
Courses at the Graduation level and Ten master level
programmes along with Management and Computer
Science disciplines are offered. Further the University
also offers M.Phil and Ph.D programmes in Science
and Engineering.
The University is located in a serene environment in
Avadi. There are many industries in and around our
university including one of the largest industrial
estates in Ambattur. The university is easily
commutable by bus and train. Annanur railway
station, on the Chennai Central – Tiruvallur broad
gauge section is just 1½ km from our university. The
university also runs buses for different parts of the city
for the benefit of the students. Separate hostel
facilities are available for boys and girls. Limited
accommodation is also available for guests. The
university aims to develop into a top class
professional institution providing training to students

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The advances in civil engineering can best be
appraised by considering the visual results of the
profession, through a comparison of the engineering
structures of the past with those of the present.
Introduction of many new materials, improvements in
construction technology and design methods, have
taken place in recent years and they should be
incorporated into design methodologies for better
performance of structures.
As with any new technology and advancement it is
imperative to share the acquired knowledge among the
professionals of that field. This conference provides a
forum in this direction.
The discussions will provide opportunity to highlight
recent developments and identify solutions to thrust
areas for potential growth and research.
THEMES OF THE CONFERENCE
Academia, research and industry professionals,
students are invited to present their papers dealing
with the state of art research and future development.
