2nd Lat-RILEM International Workshop on Materials and Structures (2nd Lat-RILEM M+S)

The Second Edition of the Lat-RILEM International Workshop on Materials and Structures (2nd Lat-RILEM M+S) will provide a forum for international scientists, engineers, companies, and constructors to present and discuss their research topics related to seven themed working groups: 1) Supplementary Cementitious Materials, 2) Design for Durability of Concrete Structures, 3) Waste Concrete Recycling in Concrete, 4) Wooden Structures, 5) Asphalt-based Materials, 6) Waste Valorisation in Construction Materials, and 7) Structural Welding. The First Edition of Lat-RILEM M+S also took place in La Plata in 2015, with around 80 attendants in total. A similar participation is expected for the present edition. Each Working Group meeting, with a duration of half a day, will consist of an introduction and 5/6 short presentations that will be selected among the submitted abstracts, followed by time for discussion and debate on specific issues within the topic.
The Lat-RILEM M+S Series focuses on promoting the interaction among participants to explore opportunities for collaboration. The topics will be addressed from a regional perspective with especial consideration to regional problems and features. The structure of themed Working Groups has the aim of promotion and exploration of opportunities for the potential increase in the participation on RILEM Technical Activities. Initiatives that raise awareness on topics with high relevance for the Region will be especially encouraged.
This event is connected with the IX International Congress of AATH, a RILEM supported event to be held in La Plata, Argentina, 2-6 November 2020. The connection between both events will promote additional discussion and debate on Materials and Structures as a corollary of the preceding Congress, at the time topics in other fields are also covered by complementary WGs.
