11th International Symposium on Advances in Civil and Environmental Engineering Practices for Sustainable Development

 

ACEPS - 2026

On 23rd July 2026

At Faculty of Engineering, University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka.

Symposium Outlook

Large-scale development projects are likely to cause technical setbacks as well as environmental degradation in the absence of proper engineering knowledge and practices backed by outcomes of research. Engineering practices and research outcomes used to solve problems in such engineering projects can serve as examples of engineering excellence for long-term development. ACEPS was formed to provide a forum for discussion of advanced sustainable engineering practices and related research outcomes used in the Asian region.

Symposium Topics

  • Structures and Building Materials
  • Geotechnical Engineering
  • Environmental Engineering and Management
  • River Engineering and Hydroinformatics
  • Highway and Transport Engineering
  • Construction and Project Management
  • Coastal and Lagoon Environment

Please submit your articles to acepsruhuna@gmail.com
