Abstract

The 5th Conference on Civil Engineering and Safety (CCES 2024) will be held during Oct. 25-27, 2024, in Guilin, China. The main objective of CCES 2024 is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers and academicians from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in Civil Engineering and Safety. Located in the northeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in south China, Guilin is considered to be the pearl of China's thriving tourist industry on account of the natural beauty and historic treasures. Covering an area of about 27,800 square kilometers (10,734 square miles), the city is rather compact when compared with other major tourist cities in the country. The stunning landscape in which the city is situated has a kind of magic that is all its own. The strangely shaped hills or karsts, with the verdant vegetation ranging from bamboos to conifers together with crystal clear waters and wonderful caves make the city such an appealing destination. It is also an important cultural city with a history of more than 2,000 years. The city has been the political, economic and cultural center of Guangxi since the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). Looking forward to seeing you in Guilin!
