ABOUT THE EVENT /
The International Symposium on Frontiers of Road and Airport Engineering (iFRAE) was started by College of Transportation Engineering of Tongji University. This symposium was first held in 2011 and then biennially since 2015. The IFRAE 2021 will be hosted on July 12-14, 2021 by the Section of Pavement Engineering, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. The theme of the IFRAE 2021 is to promote research in the field of “Circular, Sustainable and Smart Airport and Highway Pavements”and is dedicated to the state-of-the-art and state-of-practice areas of long-life and circular materials for sustainable, cost-effective smart airport and highway pavement construction. This symposium will facilitate the exchange of new ideas in these fields among academicians, engineers, scientists and practitioners. It includes plenary, keynote & invited speeches, oral presentations & poster sessions on different topics. Accepted full papers will be published in conference proceedings. Selected papers will be published in special issues of several selected renowned journals.
