ICPE2021 Website: 19 June (Sat) and 20 June (Sun) 2021
: Online: https://icpe-ipa.org/■ Background
There is a growing need for the maintenance and renovation of obsolete infrastructure in developed countries. In the meantime,developing countries face compelling challenges of constructing adequate infrastructure in response to rapid urbanization. Also, we
are witnessing greater threats of earthquakes, typhoons and other natural disasters, which forces us to recognize and acknowledge
the unexpected vulnerability of infrastructure. Meeting these challenges will require an academic field of planning, researching anddesigning sustainable infrastructure. Thus, there is a pressing need to establish an academic field to facilitate comprehensively thetraining of engineers and the development of technologies that will support construction work in devising efficient machines andenergy- and labor-saving construction processes.

■ Objectives
Considering the above-mentioned background, this international conference aims to promote the academic field of “Press-inengineering”, where experts of various academic fields interact with a focus on the Press-in method. The conference offersopportunities for academics and technicians to intercommunicate with one another and for students and young experts to present
their achievements. It also provides forums for introducing Japanese efforts for building national resilience as well as study reportsof IPA Technical Committees.

■ Theme: Evolution and Social Contribution of Press-in Engineering for Infrastructure Development,and Disaster Prevention and Mitigation
1. Disaster prevention and mitigation, such as countermeasure against Tsunami, erosion control, slope protections and others
2. Renovation or development of infrastructure, such as road, railway, adjacent construction, rural area development and others
3. Improvement of productivity and environmental issues, such as development of devices, construction managements, logistics,noise, vibration and others
4. Methods or case studies of project evaluation
5. Performance assessment of structures, such as pressed-in piles/sheet piles, and retaining wall/deep foundations constructed bypressed-in piles/sheet piles and others
6. Education
7. Other
Note: Papers both on academic issues (fundamental research) and on practical issues (application examples and machinedevelopment) are welcome.
