This is the seventeenth in the CIVIL-COMP series of conferences concerned with the application of computers to civil, structural and environmental engineering. The conference will provide a forum for the presentation and dissemination of recent research and developments in the use of computers in civil, structural and environmental engineering.

A major objective of the conference will be to link research and innovative ideas to engineering practice. Presentations describing technology transfer from recent research projects to practical projects are encouraged.

All presentations will be related to computing as applied, in the widest sense, to Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering. The range of areas considered by the Conference will include (but not be confined to):
