TC12 Scope
The ESIS Executive Committee decided to change the name of TC12 in November 2016. The actual name of the ESIS TC12 is Risk Analysis and Safety of Large Structures and Components.
The experience of previous decades shows that those traditional methods of LTS safety which are based on the statistical paradigm of eliminating reasons of catastrophes, have almost exhausted their potential. New unexplored- or not taken into consideration causes inevitably arise instead of previous causes. To solve the problem, it is necessary to work out new theoretical approaches to the safety and to risk-based methods as a scientific basis for the prevention of technogenic disasters.
In this way, recent advances in maintenance, safety, risk analysis, probabilistic assessment, life-cycle performance, fatigue, fracture, damage mechanics, numerical simulation of a wide range of infrastructures, such as, engineering technical systems, transportation systems, bridges, buildings, dams, railways, underground constructions, wind and transmission towers, offshore platforms, pipelines, naval vessels, oceanic structures, nuclear power plants, airplanes and other types of structures including aerospace and automotive structures, in terms of mathematical/numerical modelling and experimental techniques, are considered.
The formulation and development of perspective research directions in these areas should become the object of the activities of the Technical Committee - Risk Analysis and Safety of Large Structures and Components in the structure of ESIS.
A series of events will be organized including a dedicate biannual conference (IRAS) and special symposia in the main ESIS conferences.
Some joint events will be organized together with ASCE and National Groups.

1st Biennial ESIS-CSIC Conference on Structural Integrity
BECCSI 2025
November 25-28, 2025
Hotel Metropol Palace, Belgrade, Serbia
Dear colleagues, dear friends,
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate at the 1st Biennial ESIS-CSIC Conference on Structural Integrity (BECCSI 2025), in period November 25-28, 2025 (www.beccsi2025.com), in mutual organization of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) and China Structural Integrity Consortium (CSIC). The inaugural event will be hosted in Belgrade, Serbia organized by the Serbian Structural Integrity Society (DIVK). Together, we aim to elevate the standards of structural integrity practices and welcome professionals worldwide to engage in this transformative journey.
Conference Venue
Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 69, Belgrade, Serbia (google maps)
The 1st BECCSI will serve as a unique platform for the structural integrity community to explore novel solutions and manufacturing techniques, evaluate advancements in codes and standards, and address key technical challenges in the field of engineering. Furthermore, the event will seek to place these discussions in the broader context of environmental impact and the future landscape of manufacturing, all of it with the ultimate goal to prevent failure and ensure complete structural integrity. The three-day conference will create a conducive environment for participants to network with international structural integrity leaders. It will facilitate subsequent discussions and the exchange of diverse views and information among attendees. Special focus of the conference will be on young researchers, including a competition for the Best Student Paper Awards.
We invite both academic and engineering communities as well to take participation to this event, and to share their knowledge on following areas:
Structural integrity for advanced manufacturing
Reliability-centered manufacturing
Fatigue and fracture under extreme conditions
Innovative non-destructive testing and monitoring techniques
Multi-scale material testing, modelling and analysis
Structural health monitoring and life extension
Artificial intelligence and big data
Numerical simulation of fracture and fatigue process
Engineering damage mechanics
Aircraft mechanics and control
We invite you to propose thematic session for this conference, which needs to include:
Title of the thematic session
Name, affiliation, and email address of the proposer(s)
Short description of the thematic session (not exceeding 100 words)
If you want to submit an abstract for a particular Thematic Session, please indicate so in your email.
