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.
XXXII Conference on Lightweight Structures in Civil Engineering organized by Polish Chapters of IASS, Gliwice 2026, Poland, December 3-4th.
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:
Seminar venue:Gliwice University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture
The conference starts in accordance with the schedule published in the announcement.
- presentation of the papers ordered by the organizers
- presentation of the papers accepted by the Scientific Committee
- sponsors presentations
- English – abstract and paper
- English or Polish – presentation
Scientific conference organized in 2026 is a continuation of an annual meetings named “Lightweight Structures in Civil Engineering”. The scope of the confernce is focused on a variety of scientific and technical problems concerning widely comprehend lightweight structures and presenting scientific achievements of the participants of the seminar.
