Conference History

SLD4 is the 4th International Conference on Service Life Design for Infrastructures. The SLD4 conference is jointly organised by Delft University of Technology and Tongji University. The conference builds on the success of the previous three events on this topic held in Shanghai (2006), Delft (2010) and  Zhuhai (2014). Service Life Design for Infrastructure is a very broad topic involving aspects starting from the material properties and behaviour, via structural performance,  serviceability and durability to integral design and asset management. All related topics from experimental research to modelling and from codes and standards to applications are welcomed to the conference.

 

Topics

• Asset Management
