Overview

The International Association for Structural Safety and Reliability promotes the study, research, and applications of scientific principles of safety, risk and reliability in the analysis, design, construction, maintenance and operations of structures and other engineering systems. This mission is accomplished primarily through the organization of the International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability (ICOSSAR) at approximately four-year intervals. IASSAR also encourages a wide range of activities promoting the study and applications of scientific principles and concepts of safety, risk, and reliability in engineering and beyond.

The 14th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability (ICOSSAR'25) will be held on the Campus of the University of Southern California (USC), in Los Angeles, on June 2-6 2025.

ICOSSAR'25 builds on the success of previous ICOSSARs held in Washington, D.C., USA (1969), Munich, Germany (1977), Trondheim, Norway (1981), Kobe, Japan (1985), San Francisco, USA (1989), lnnsbruck, Austria (1993), Kyoto, Japan (1997), Newport Beach, USA (2001), Rome, Italy (2005), Osaka, Japan (2009), New York, USA (2013) and Vienna, Austria (2017), Shanghai, China (2022).

Welcome

We are delighted to welcome the ICOSSAR community to the beautiful campus of the University of Southern California located near Downtown Los Angeles, in sunny California where mountains and ocean meet. We have planned a memorable Conference with exciting technical and social programs.

The USC campus is three miles from Downtown LA, a vibrant dining and entertainment center. It is also within half hour drive from the beautiful beaches and piers, and the majestic mountains of Southern California.

Recent developments in the technologies of manufacturing, automation and sensing coupled with advances in materials science machine learning and artificial intelligence, promise a disruptive shift in both the characterization, assessment, and mitigation of risks from both man-made and natural hazards. The ICOSSAR community continues to be at the forefront of these innovations and their intersection with engineering analysis and design. ICOSSAR'25 will provide a forum where these emerging scientific themes are articulated, disseminated, and challenged.

We look forward to welcoming you all in Los Angeles.
