Due to the worldwide situation regarding the Covid-19 pandemic and the difficulties that still persist for large group meetings as well as for travelling around the world, the organizing committee has decided that SAHC2021 will be held in a fully online mode.

The dates of the celebration of the on-line conference are those already announced, i.e. September 29-30 and October 1, 2021. Detailed information on the programme and organization of the on-line event will be sent soon.

A reduced flat registration fee of 360€ for regular conference delegates (300€ for students) will be implemented. The difference with the already paid fee will be refunded to authors already registered.

Authors that have submitted a full paper but have not yet registered can now register with the reduced fee. Papers will still be included in the indexed proceedings if the registration and payment is done until June 18, 2021.

If you have any specific questions or requests, please contact us at [email protected]

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation for the success of SAHC2021.

The SAHC2021 Organizing Committee

We are happy to announce another keynote speaker of the SAHC 2020 conference:

👉Giorgia Giardina
Delft University of Technology, Netherlands 🇳🇱

Giorgia Giardina is assistant professor at the Civil Engineering and Geoscience faculty of the Delft University of Technology (https://www.tudelft.nl/en/). Giorgia’s research aims at increasing urban resilience through the evaluation of buildings and infrastructure vulnerability. By integrating remote sensing data, experimental testing and computational modelling, she analyses the response of existing structures to urbanisation, earthquakes and climate change effects.

Her research interests include remote sensing and computational modelling, risk and damage assessment, heritage protection, seismic vulnerability, tunnelling and underground excavations, and settlement-induced structural damage.

Prior to joining the TU Delft, Giorgia was a lecturer at the University of Bath, a visiting professor at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a research associate and a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge, where she was awarded a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship. She is a member of the International Scientific Committee on the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH), an associate scientist at the 4TU Centre for Resilience Engineering (4TU RE - https://www.4tu.nl/resilience/) and a member of the Heritage Under Threat group at the Centre for Global Heritage and Development (CGHD - https://www.globalheritage.nl/themes/heritage-under-threat).

We are happy to announce one of the keynote speakers of the SAHC 2020 conference:

👉 Belén Riveiro
University of Vigo, Spain 🇪🇸

Belén Riveiro is an Associate Professor of Structural Engineering at the University of Vigo, Spain (https://www.uvigo.gal/en) since 2012. She holds a MSc in Construction Engineering (2015), MSc in Forestry Engineering (2006) and a PhD in Environmental Engineering (2011).

Due to the requests received, we have extended the early bird registration deadline to 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟭.

Please note that this deadline is also considered for the inclusion of the papers in the 𝗦𝗔𝗛𝗖 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. At least one author per paper (e.g. the lecturer during the conference) has to register and pay the registration fee within this deadline for the inclusion of the paper in the conference proceedings.

The conference proceedings (full papers only) will be submitted for indexation in the Data Citation Index - 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (Clarivate Analytics) and in the 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗨𝗦 database.

The early bird registration of authors can be done through the web page of the conference: https://congress.cimne.com/SAHC2020

A final decision on the conference format (either face-to-face or on-line) will be taken during the upcoming months and will be communicated to all the registered participants as soon as possible.

Due to evolution of the COVID-19 worldwide health emergency, and after a careful consideration of the situation, the Organizing Committee has decided to 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 the SAHC 2020 conference. The new dates are 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟗-𝟑𝟎, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏. The conference will be held at the same venue in Barcelona.

The decision on the postponement of the conference has been indeed a very difficult one. The present situation is very uncertain and celebrating a large event in Autumn 2020 seems at the moment extremely risky or even impossible. In any case, our aim is to ensure a safe event while allowing all attendants to proceed conveniently with their travel plans and reservations.

All the papers submitted and already accepted after the peer review process will be kept for the new dates of the SAHC 2020 conference without any action being necessary from the participants. Submissions of new abstracts and manuscripts are also welcome.

The registration dates are modified as follows:
𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 - 31 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 2021

You can contact the conference secretariat at [email protected] for any query you may have.

While wishing you, your teams and your loved ones health and safety, we look forward to seeing you in Barcelona in September 29-30 and October 1, 2021.
