38th BARCELONA International Conference on Civil and Environmental Engineering Research (BCEER-26) scheduled on July 15-17, 2026 Barcelona (Spain) is for the engineers, practitioners, scientists, researchers, scholars, and students from all around the world and it also includes the industry people to present ongoing research activities, and hence to foster research relations between Academia and industry. The conference is sponsored by Eminent Association of Pioneers (EAP) under Pilares DÉlegancia LDA. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to share new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration. All the submitted conference papers will be peer reviewed by the program/technical committees of the Conference.

Call for papers/Topics

Topics of interest for submission include any topics related to:

1. Structural Engineering

Focuses on the design and analysis of structures that support or resist loads.

• Materials Science: Behavior of concrete, steel, timber, and composite materials.

• Design Standards: Reinforced concrete design, structural steel design, and masonry.

• Seismic Engineering: Earthquake-resistant design and vibration control.

• Bridge Engineering: Design of suspension, arch, and cable-stayed bridges.

2. Geotechnical Engineering

Deals with the behavior of earth materials and how they interact with structures.

• Soil Mechanics: Soil composition, permeability, and shear strength.

• Foundation Engineering: Shallow and deep foundations (piles, piers, and caissons).

• Retaining Structures: Design of retaining walls and bulkheads.

• Slope Stability: Landslide prevention and embankment design.

• Tunneling and Underground Structures.

3. Transportation Engineering
