International Conference on Advances in Sustainable Materials, Modelling & Infrastructure (ASMMI – 2025)
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
The ASMMI conference is being jointly organized by the Department of Civil Engineering, BITS Pilani – Pilani Campus, Dubai Campus and Hyderabad Campus. Jointly, the Civil Engineering Department at BITS Pilani currently has fifty faculty members working in various sub-disciplines of Civil Engineering and nearly 100 graduate students, working in various research areas. The conference will be organized as part of the Diamond Jubilee Celebration of BITS Pilani. The dates for the conference are from 17 to 19 February 2025 at BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus, India.
Civil Engineering domain is facing several real-time challenges. The practical problems associated with such challenges in many developing countries including India are different and complex, requiring smart and sustainable approach. Therefore, researchers and agencies have been working to tackle such issues and to formulate implementable solutions in a sustainable manner. For the stated purpose, understanding of recent advances in the areas of sustainable materials, technology, infrastructure planning and modelling with respect to all sub-branches of civil engineering including Structural, Geo-Technical, Transportation, Water-Resources, Environmental, Remote-Sensing, Building and Construction Technology, and Materials is extremely important. In this direction, the proposed conference aims to bring an ideal platform for researchers, practitioners, and agencies to brainstorm and share their experience through theoretical and practical solutions to various such engineering problems. This conference invites extended abstracts related to various themes under the umbrella of Civil engineering.
About BITS PILANI
Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Pilani), is one of India’s leading higher education institutes and a deemed university under Sec. 3 of the UGC act. BITS Pilani has three campuses in India (Pilani, Goa & Hyderabad) and one international campus in Dubai (U.A.E). Pilani (Rajasthan) campus hosts which host the conference was set up in technical collaboration with MIT (USA), under the Ford Foundation Grant and later was deemed to be a university in 1964. Covered with wooded paths and spread over 328 acres, the campus is self-contained and houses all the amenities and buildings that befit an institute of international standards. The programmes are fully residential with 14 hostels for boys and one hostel complex for girls.
