Conference Evaluation CRC 2016 Photos


Welcome to the website of the 2016 Construction Research Congress (CRC2016)

The theme for this conference is “Old and New Technologies Converge in Historic San Juan”. San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico and is the oldest city under U.S. jurisdiction. The city dates back more than 5 centuries. The conference theme highlights the historical importance of the city of San Juan and how this historical environment blends with the contemporary infrastructure of the city. This historical setting has been influenced by technological advancements that have been incorporated to enhance the infrastructure of this city. Although the historical construction is preserved, the city of San Juan is always under continuous improvement, which allows for the blend between new and old technologies.

The city of San Juan is also a great touristic attraction due to its combination of sun, sand, sea and society. The history of the city of San Juan includes a rich cultural background that has been influenced by the Spanish, African, Taíno and American cultures. Sea, sand and sun are always within a walking distance from major points of Old San Juan. The tropical weather of the island allows for enjoying the sand, sun and sea anytime during the year. In addition, you will enjoy the Puerto Rican hospitality and cuisine, and the distinguishable architecture of the City of San Juan.

The congress will include the signature tracks traditionally offered in the Construction Research Congress as well as new tracks. This will allow presenting innovative and up to date research related to our construction community.

On behalf of the Construction Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and the Organizing Committee, I invite you to the 2016 CRC and to the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Come and join this discussion under the skies of this five-century old city of innovation.

See you in San Juan!
