Samenvatting:

This book gathers peer-reviewed contributions presented at the RILEM Spring Convention, held in Ghent, Belgium on April 13-17, 2026. The theme of the Conference was “Innovative Construction Materials and Processes for Sustainable Buildings and Infrastructure”. The volume covers the current and emerging approaches that lead to an optimized design and maintenance of constructions and systems. It includes the development of materials and structural service life models and life cycle design, in order to maximise longevity and level of service while minimising the environmental impact of constructions and systems. It also includes the analysis and design of larger systems, such as communities, cities or regions, aiming at reducing risk andincreasing resilience. The following subtopics are included: advanced materials and structural concept to enhance the resilience and robustness of the built environment and communities at local and global scales; risk based inspection and maintenance; life cycle analysis and service models; performance based design; improved design strategies by integrating materials and structures.
