The 12th International Conference on Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites in Civil Engineering (CICE 2025) will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 14 to 16 July 2025. It is a national joint initiative organized by the University of Lisbon, the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering, and the University of Minho. CICE is the main official conference of the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC). It brings together the FRP research community and industry to share relevant achievements and discuss challenges and opportunities in the field. This will be the twelfth edition of a series of prestigious conferences on composites for Civil Engineering applications that was initiated in 2001 and has already taken place on most continents.
CICE 2025 will cover all aspects of research, development, and application of FRP composites in civil engineering, with particular emphasis on some of the most relevant and emerging challenges.
Topics will include (but are not limited to):
- FRP materials and products
- Concrete structures with FRP reinforcement
- Strengthening of concrete, steel, masonry, and timber structures
- Bond-behaviour
- Confinement
- Seismic retrofit of existing structures
- Hybrid structures combining FRP with other materials
- Concrete-filled FRP tubular members
- Sandwich structures
- All-FRP structures
- Smart FRP structures
- Fire, impact, and blast loading
- Durability
- Inspection, monitoring, and quality assurance
- Life-cycle performance
- Sustainability and recycling
- Bio-based composites
- Thermoplastic-based composites
- Composites for wind energy
- Design codes and guidelines
- Education
- Case studies
