As China is continuing its rapid development of infrastructure systems, there is increasing recognition of the importance of the safety and reliability of these systems in order to ensure their life-cycle performance and sustainability. 2015 SRES' SYMPOSIUM ON RELIABILITY OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS Oct. 15-17, 2015 Hangzhou, P.R.China Post-symposium Tour Hangzhou Hangzhou city is known for its natural beauty of West Lake worldwide. Above is Paradise, below is Suzhou and Hangzhou expresses people indeed praise to Hangzhou. Scope and Coverage Call for Papers The Symposium is intended to provide a forum for presenting the state-of-art and recent advances in the field of reliability engineering and risk management, as well as to show-case the varied applications in engineering including structural and geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering and water resources, marine engineering, nuclear power engineering, transportation engineering, and of infrastructure systems. Both recent and emerging results of research in reliability engineering, and new or innovative applications of reliability principles are encouraged and will be discussed at the Symposium. The target audience will include academic researchers, instructors/lecturers of reliability engineering, professional engineers in industry and government, managers in industry, and students in engineering and the sciences. Suzhou Suzhou garden is celebrated for representing Private garden, which typically differs from Summer Palace in Beijing and Mountain Resort of Chengde representing Royal garden. Hangzhou Garden Shanghai Shanghai city is a fascinating metropolis for domestic and international tourists. The symbolistic architectures of Expo 2010 Shanghai China still remains and attracts great attentions. Venue Organized by The venue will be in Hangzhou, China. The city of Hangzhou is close to the West Lake, which with its surrounding is known for its natural beauty and Chinese culture. It is about 100 km from Shanghai and by high-speed rail will take only about half an hour travel. • Tongji University • Zhejiang University • Shanghai Institute of Disaster Prevention and Relief • International Association for Structural Safety and Reliability (IASSAR)
