2019 4th International Conference on Building Materials and Construction (ICBMC 2019)

2019 4th International Conference on Building Materials and Construction (ICBMC 2019) will be held during February 25-28, 2019 in National University of Singapore.

Building material is any material which is used for construction purposes. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, and wood, even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacture of building materials is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work. They provide the make-up of habitats and structures including homes.

Rapid development of modern technology needs the support of new material. New material together with information and energy are known as the three pillars of modern science and technology. The birth of new materials will lead rapid development of related industries and technologies. Architecture is one of the examples. The appearance of new building materials not only enhanced the original performance of the materials, such as durability, mechanical properties but also the performance of strength, energy conservation, insulation, waterproof, and appearance. Construction materials is developing towards the pursuit of functional diversity, life-cycle economy and recycling. With the change of living concepts and the demand of the multifarious building function, as the very basic elements of construction, building materials will face plenty of challenges.
