Urbanization is one of the major global challenges of this era. The cities and infrastructure of future will need to be denser and taller. An efficient way to accommodate rapidly growing urban population is to develop vertical cities with tall buildings having innovative structural systems. This requires great expertise, skills and computational capabilities. To address the issues related to safety of cities and infrastructure, the 7th Asia Conference on Earthquake Engineering (7ACEE2018) will be jointly organized by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and Engineering Institute of Thailand (EIT) in collaboration with the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines, Inc. (ASEP) and supported by Computers and Structures, Inc.(CSI) and Mahidol University. The Conference will take place at the Grand Hyatt Erawan, Bangkok, Thailand from 22-25 November 2018.

This year 2018, Asia Conference on Earthquake Engineering (ACEE) with its theme “Seismic Resilience for Safer Cities and Infrastructures” is gearing up to serve the industries, engineers, educators and researchers on a regional and global scale. ACEE-2018 will prove to be a truly international event with the participants, keynote speakers and attendees coming from all parts of Asia and the world to brainstorm, share expertise and collaborate in areas of mutual interests.

• Submission of an abstract acknowledges consent to publication of the full paper in the conference proceedings 
• Should your abstract be accepted, only PEER REVIEWED full papers will be published 
• All authors must read and accept the Copyright Licence Agreement. 
• This agreement will be sent with the letter of acceptance. 
• The presenting author will be required to register for the conference.
• Presenters who have not registered by the deadline date will be removed from the program. 
• The abstract should describe objectives, results, conclusions, innovative steps and the significance of your work. 
• Short abstracts will be de-weighted in the selection process. 
• All abstracts and papers must be prepared according to the template provided.
