Information

Lightweight Structures in Civil Engineering Conferences are a series of annual international conferences, which have been organized by Polish leading Universities.

The aim of the Conferences is to bring together researchers and professionals from different countries and to provide the opportunity to present the results of their work.

XXXI Conference on Lightweight Structures in Civil Engineering organized by Polish Chapters of IASS, Opole 2025, Poland, December 4th - 5th.

Conference main topics include

Engineering objects erected with a relatively small amount of used material like large span roofs, bridges, high buildings, towers, masts, free volume buildings, tanks or reservoirs. Thematic sessions are dedicated to spatial lattice structures, plate and shell structures, domes and membranes, thin-walled, tension, cable and pneumatic structures. Also, all methods of analysis as: analytical, numerical and experimental are welcomed.

The Conference Participants are welcome to deliver contribution to a selected thematic session. The following sessions are planned:
