About

The first Asian-Pacific Symposium on Structural Reliability and Its Applications (APSSRA) was held in Tokyo, Japan, in November 1995. Since then, APSSRA is held every four years between ICASP and ICOSSAR in various Asian cities including Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai. The seventh APSSRA will be held in October 2020 in Tokyo, Japan again with the theme:
Risk Management for Sustainable Development — From Reliability to Risk, from Academia to Society

Risk management is a framework that integrates structural reliability concepts or other related concepts useful to developing solutions to issues related to resilience, sustainable development, and disaster risk reduction in the Asian-Pacific region. APSSRA2020 will highlight new challenges of techniques and methodologies in civil engineering related to this field.
We look forward to seeing you in Tokyo in 2020.
