The 13th NOCMAT Conference continued to provide a forum where researchers, governmental and non-governmental agencies could introduce their research results concerning innovations in the field of low-cost energy-saving materials which are renewable and locally available: such as bamboo, soil fibers and cement alternatives. Also covered were technologies which make use of such non-conventional materials as natural fibers and agricultural and industrial residues in a more cost-effective, durable, environment-friendly, energy-efficient and sustainable manner.

Description: This collection of 835 peer-reviewed papers covers state-of-the-art developments in Structural Engineering, Road and Bridge Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Architecture and Urban Planning, Transportation Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, Engineering Management, Computational Mechanics, Construction Technology, Building Materials, Environmental Engineering, Computer Simulation and CAD/CAE. Emphasis was placed on basic methodologies, scientific development and engineering applications.
