TRS Project Members attended The 2024 World Congress on Advances in Civil, Environmental, and Materials Research and The 2024 Structures Congress in Korea

The 2024 World Congress on Advances in Civil, Environmental, and Materials Research and The 2024 Structures Congress were held in Seoul, Korea, from 19 to 22, August, 2024. The Congress aims at providing the first step fusion approach to solve the global problems of infrastructure, new materials, and environmental issues. Each conference of the Congress is independently organized within ACEM24 in cooperation with other neighboring conferences. Thus the Congress is a premier international forum that brings together academics and practicing engineers to exchange the frontier research results in the allied technologies under the topics of infrastructure, environmental, and materials research. Prof. Yi-Qing Ni led six other TRS group members to attend this conference.

Prof. Ni delivered a keynote speech titled "Urban Risk Mitigation of Tall Building Clusters in Coastal Cities Due to Tropical Storms". During the conference, he also chaired the keynote sessions and three special sessions on " Risk mitigation of coastal infrastructure in extreme meteorological environments”.
