2^nd RILEM International Symposium on Bituminous Materials – ISBM2026

The research group of “Road, Railway and Airport Engineering” of the University of Padova, Department of Civil Environmental and Architectural Engineering (ICEA), is glad to announce the upcoming 2^nd RILEM International Symposium on Bituminous Materials (ISBM2026, Padova), to be held on June 16-18^th, 2026 in Padova, Italy.

Topical key scientific challenges related to the properties of bituminous materials, structures, and innovative practices will be addressed in the Conference, with the involvement of researchers and professionals from various fields of the research sector.

The symposium will also provide an excellent chance to share and disseminate research concerning the RILEM Cluster F activities, under TCs 295-FBB (Fingerprinting Bituminous Binders using Physico-Chemical Analysis), 307-PPB (Physicochemical Effects of Polymers in Bitumen), 308-PAR (Performance-based Asphalt Recycling), 316-FEE (Fume Emissions Evaluation for Asphalt Materials), APD (Alternative Paving Materials – Design and Performance), APS (Alternative Paving Materials – Sustainability), MWP (Mechanical Wave Propagation to characterize bituminous mixtures).
