Advancing Sustainability in Structural Engineering and Construction
Introduction
The 19th East Asia-Pacific Conference on Structural Engineering and Construction (EASEC-19) will be held on 13–15 July 2026 in the beautiful and culturally rich city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The conference will be hosted by the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia at the Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel & Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The objective of EASEC conference is to provide a forum for academicians, researchers, and engineers working in broad areas of Structural Engineering and Construction in the East Asia and Pacific region to exchange information leading to close collaboration and cooperation.
HISTORY
EASEC was founded by Professor Fumio Nishino, then the Vice President for Academic Affairs of the Bangkok-based Asian Institute of Technology. The objective of the Conference was to provide forum for professional structural and construction engineers and researchers working in Asia and the Pacific region to present recent progress in research and development, and to discuss the implementation of new tools and technology in professional applications. In particular, the conference intends to promote mutual understanding and share common ideas. EASEC has been held regularly since 1986.
