Thrust areas of research include geopolymer concrete, concrete with waste materials , air pollution monitoring and road traffic noise pollution monitoring. Structural Engineering, Strength of Materials, Survey, Fluid Mechanics and Machinery, Soil Mechanics, Environmental laboratories are available. Engineering 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. Theoretical, analytical and experimental research on the following topics are invited for submission. Disaster resistant structures Materials for sustainable construction Advances in steel structures Project management Green materials and green building Structural retrofitting Waste management Flood management Analysis and design of structures Smart materials Ground water modeling Remote sensing and GIS Soil stabilization and machine foundation Advances in transportation engineering Advances in geotechnical engineering Pollution monitoring Nanotechnology GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION The paper should be submitted by email to spurace2016@gmail.com as Microsoft Word document, Times New Roman, 12 font size.
