International Association for Structural Safety and Reliability (IASSAR)

Safety, reliability, performance, resilience and sustainability of structures and infrastructure systems continue to provide emergent and key challenges to infrastructure risk management due to the frequent occurrence of natural and man-made disasters (such as earthquakes, hurricanes and tropical cyclones, tsunamis, terrorist attacks, and industrial accidents involving aviation and energy production), the infrastructure crisis and climate change. In addressing these problems, the analysis and management of uncertainties are unavoidable. The society can no longer afford to ignore congested roads, deficient bridges, aging dams, broken levees and water mains, among others. Furthermore, the importance of costs associated with managing existing structures, civil infrastructure and engineering systems in an era of finite resources is increasingly recognized. Decisions regarding requirements for design, continued service, rehabilitation or replacement, and management of risk should be based on optimization under uncertainty so as to balance conflicting requirements such as cost and performance.

The Chinese Society for Metals

ThermoMechanical Processing (TMP) is an established and vital part of the production method for increasing and tailoring the mechanical properties not only for steels, but also expanding to various non-ferrous alloys. The TMP allows improving the microstructural features in order to realize the metal products fitting the requirement imposed by the modern mechanical and structural engineering. With a scope that ranges from the latest process and product developments through to associating physical metallurgy in the thermomechanical processing of steels and non-ferrous alloys, TMP 2020 Conference aims at examining the key aspects involved in TMP: phase transformations, complex microstructures evolution, applications in CSP/ESP, in-line heat treatments, measurement techniques and the technological forming operations (rolling, forging, extrusion etc.).

International Water Association (IWA) and Tsinghua University and State Key Joint Lab Environmental Simulation & Pollution Control

As one of the most well-known valve events all over the world, Valve World Asia has already been widely recognized as an important platform for bridging the China-centered Asian market and International valve arena.

International Water Association (IWA)

The rapid expansion of China’s economy has been accompanied by many serious environmental issues, including degradation of water quality. To solve its water pollution problems, massive investments in water and wastewater treatment has been undertaken in China in the past decades. These new and upgraded treatment facilities has improved water quality, but also lead to problematic levels of sludge generation, and this prospect is now being addressed with urgency. This sludge conference is titled “IWA conference in Sustainable Sludge Management” which will focus on sustainable approaches in sludge management.
