On behalf of the organizing committee of IWAMISSE 2019 and fib-Turkey, I would like to invite you to the  2nd International Workshop on Advanced Materials and Innovative Systems in Structural Engineering: Novel Researches, IWAMISSE 2019, which will take place at Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey on 20 September 2019.

The workshop covers the topics of advanced materials and innovative systems in structural engineering with a focus on seismic practices as well as other issues related with assessment and retrofitting of existing structures, anchors/fasteners, and recent advances on different types of structural systems such as reinforced concrete, steel, and reinforced masonry structures.

This event which is organized for the second time will provide a platform for exploring the potential national and international cooperation schemes in terms of research and application on the areas covered within the scope of the workshop.

A part of this workshop will be devoted to papers presenting the initial outcomes of the TUBITAK-RCUK Project “Rapid Earthquake Risk Assessment and Post-Earthquake Disaster Management Framework for Substandard Buildings in Turkey” executed jointly by Istanbul Technical University and Sheffield University.

We look forward to seeing you on September 20, 2019, and welcoming you to the fib-Turkey workshop in Istanbul.
