41st LISBON Global Congress on Civil, Materials, and Environmental Engineering (LCMEE-26) scheduled on Dec. 9-11, 2026 Lisbon (Portugal) is for the scientists, scholars, engineers and students from the Universities all around the world and the industry to present ongoing research activities, and hence to foster research relations between the Universities and the industry. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration. The conference is sponsored by Universal Researchers (UAE). All the submitted conference papers will be peer reviewed by the program/technical committees of the Conference.

Call for Papers: LCMEE-26

All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields:

1. Structural & Infrastructure Engineering (Civil/Materials)

This area focuses on the physical skeleton of society and the substances used to build it.

• Structural Analysis & Design: Load distribution, stress-strain relationships, and seismic resistance.

• Advanced Construction Materials:

  • Concrete Technology: High-performance concrete (HPC), self-healing concrete, and carbon-negative cement.

  • Steel & Alloys: Corrosion-resistant reinforcements and structural steel.

  • Composite Materials: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and bio-composites.

• Geotechnical Engineering: Soil mechanics, foundation design, and slope stability.

• Transportation Systems: Pavement design, traffic flow modeling, and smart infrastructure.

2. Environmental Protection & Resource Management (Environmental/Civil)

This focuses on how the built environment interacts with the natural world.

• Water & Wastewater Engineering:

  • Treatment Processes: Desalination, membrane filtration, and biological nutrient removal.

  • Hydraulics & Hydrology: Stormwater management, flood modeling, and dam engineering.

• Waste Management:

  • Solid Waste: Landfill engineering and waste-to-energy systems.

  • Circular Economy: Urban mining and recycling materials from demolished structures.

• Air Quality & Remediation: Industrial emission control and groundwater decontamination (in-situ vs. ex-situ).

3. Sustainability & Green Engineering (Interrelated)

The "Triple Point" where all three disciplines overlap to address climate change and efficiency.

• Sustainable Building Design:

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Quantifying the environmental impact of a building from extraction to demolition.

  • Energy Efficiency: Passive heating/cooling and "Green" building certifications (LEED, BREEAM).

• Resilient Infrastructure: Designing for climate adaptation, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise.

• Green Materials: Using industrial by-products (fly ash, slag) and recycled aggregates in new construction.

4. Mechanics & Computational Science (Independent/Interrelated)

The theoretical tools used across all three disciplines.

• Fluid Mechanics: Crucial for pipe flow (Civil), pollutant transport (Environmental), and material casting (Materials).

• Solid Mechanics: Determining how materials deform under environmental or structural loads.

• Computational Modeling:

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Simulating stress in structures or heat transfer in materials.

  • Building Information Modeling (BIM): Integrating 3D design with environmental data.
