ICTWS2027 aims to provide a forum where researchers and designers join to present, discuss and disseminate the most recent theoretical, numerical and experimental advances in all areas related to thin-walled structures, including but not limited to:

• Steel, stainless steel and aluminium structures

• Fibre composite and other material structures

• Members, connections and joints

• Plates and shells

• Advanced analysis methods

• Optimisation methods and applications

• Impact and progressive collapse

• Additive manufacturing (3D printing)

• Deployable and inflatable structures

• Machine learning in engineering design

• Fatigue, durability and long-term performance

• Cold-formed twin-walled metallic structural systems

• Lightweight steel drywall non-structural systems

• Fire behaviour and thermo-mechanical performance

One of the main goals of ICTWS2027 is to promote an exchange of ideas that inspires innovative research paths and fosters new collaborative endeavours. We expect ICTWS2027 to have an impact on the future research and development activity in all the topics included in its program.
You are warmly invited to actively participate in the Conference.
