Call for Abstracts 2025

The Conference format will be similar to that in the previous editions of this conference, with some enhancements, to capitalize on our previous experience. Each session will be opened by a keynote speaker, after which papers from all around the world will be presented. The session will then close with an extended Q&A session with all the speakers. In addition, a panel discussion will be organized where the owner with his legal representation will discuss with an architect, a structural engineer, and a geotechnical engineer, the options to repurpose an existing structure that involves the reuse of the foundation. 

• Session 1: The decision-making process regarding foundation decarbonization and reuse
• Session 2: The inspection and testing of existing foundations to assess their suitability for reuse
• Session 3: The design process when foundations are decarbonized or reused
• Session 4: The construction phase when foundations are decarbonized or reused

As shown above the program will once again be split into four sessions, with the last one dealing with construction aspects. One focus area of that session may be of special interest. 

We intend to have several presentations dealing with more sustainable foundation construction equipment.  These presentations should not focus on particular pieces of equipment (which would make them really infomercials), but rather on the approaches to make equipment more sustainable. As an example, an approach could be to extend the design life so the equipment can be used over a longer period of time, or, to follow the theme of this conference, that it can be reused more frequently.
