2026 3rd International Symposium on Civil Engineering and Smart Structure Technology (CESST 2026) will be held during December 18-20, 2026 in Zhengzhou, China.

CESST 2026 invites the submission of original research papers in the fields of civil engineering and smart structure technology to be included in the conference proceedings. Each submission is anonymously reviewed by an average of three independent reviewers, to ensure the final high standard and quality of submitted papers. All accepted papers will be published by IOS, which will be sent to EI Compendex, Scopus for indexing service.
