Fifth International Conference on Sustainable Construction and Design, Ghent, Belgium
20 February 2013 - 20 February 2013
Belgium
The Fifth International Conference on Sustainable Construction and Design will take place from 20 to 22 February 2013 in Ghent, Belgium.
Sustainable construction refers to environmental concerns, health aspects and issues of convenience. Buildings account for the largest share of the total EU final energy consumption (42%) and produce about 35% of all greenhouse emissions. In order to reduce their environmental impact, the way they are built and designed needs to be reconsidered.
The conference covers different aspects related to the mechanical failure of structures and machine components, with a focus on tribology and fatigue in today's constructions. It will be a forum for various specialists to ensure that today's research meets the requirements of tomorrow's end users.For further information, please visit:
