BEI-2024, an official conference of the Bridge Engineering Institute (BEI), is a forum for international researchers and practitioners around the world. State-of-the-art knowledge on bridge engineering and related fields will be discussed with distinguished speakers in plenary and parallel sessions. BEI-2024 will be held in Las Vegas, NV, USA, with which a number of world-class memorable and fun activities are associated.

The main theme of BEI-2024 is Advances in Bridge Engineering, which will be composed of plenary lectures, parallel sessions, panel discussions, and exhibitions concerning bridge engineering and related fields. A call for abstracts on session themes is as follows

1. Construction materials
