As part of the 3CroCEE, student teams from Croatia and Mostar will design and build balsa wood structures to be tested on a shake table, simulating real earthquakes.
Join us on March 20, 2025, at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture, and Geodesy in Split to witness future engineers in action.
We hope to see you there! Please, register here so that we can arrange a transport from the conference hotel to the faculty.
The detailed preliminary 3CroCEE Conference Programme is published here. There may be minor changes to the programme. Therefore, we kindly ask you to check the date and time scheduled for your presentation at the conference. Please do not hesitate to contact us by email if you have any questions or requests regarding the assigned presentation time.
Please, send your presentations in .ppt format to crocee@grad.hr no later than March 12, 2025.
All participants must check the title, the authors (also the order) and the description of their contribution via the link here by 19 February at the latest. The information in the contributions will be used for the conference programme (not the information in the doc files of the submitted papers).
Note: If you want to change the order of the authors, you must deactivate the AZ button. The duration of the presentations is 10+5 minutes (although it is set to 20 minutes by default).
We are pleased to inform you that the technical visits to Split sites (Day 1: 19 March 2025, 15:00 - 18:30 Diocletian's Palace and Day 3: 21 March 2025, 16:15 - 18:30, Marjan Hotel Construction Site) are available free of charge for registered participants. However, a fee will be charged to cover organizational costs for the technical visit to Hvar (Day 4: March 22 2025, 08:30 - 19:30, Hvar Arsenal). This fee will of course be refunded if the visit is cancelled (if the number of registrations does not reach the minimum limit).
All participants must register via the registration form here for all technical visits they wish to attend no later than 4 March.
The detailed description of the visits can be found in the registration form,
Presentations of all submitted papers will be in oral form (there will be no posters).
The oral presentations will be presented in sessions. Four (or five) parallel sessions will be held in four (or five) conference rooms. The preliminary programme will be announced soon.
Each speaker (with the exception of keynote and invited speakers) will have a total of 15 minutes, including 10 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for answering questions from the auditorium. Since the schedule for the presentation sessions is tight, it is of utmost importance that all speakers are ready and on time for their presentations.
The suggested PowerPoint template is available here. The recommended format for the presentations is in 16:9 ratio.
Please, send us your presentations in .ppt format to crocee@grad.hr no later than March 14, 2025.
The detailed preliminary 3CroCEE Conference Programme will be published soon.
Early-bird registration extension
The date for early bird registration and related fee is extended to 19 February. Registrations and payments for attendees are available at the following link:
Preliminary programme
The conference will begin on Wednesday 19 March with the opening ceremony at 9 am, while the closing ceremony will take place on Friday 21 March in the afternoon. After the closing ceremony on Friday, a technical tour to Split sites will take place. A visit to the island of Hvar is planned for Saturday, which will take up most of the day.
Detailed information on the technical visits will follow shortly.
The deadline for the Full paper/Extended abstract submission (extended abstract only for Engineering seismology and PhD sessions) has been extended to 15 January 2025.
In addition, we would like to thank our supporting organisations:
- IAEE - International Association for Earthquake Engineering
- EAEE - European Association for Earthquake Engineering
- HDPG - Croatian Society for Earthquake Engineering

🚨 More exciting news! 🚨
We are thrilled to announce Three Earthquake Engineers walked into a bar in Split: the Risk Uncertainty Brawl, hosted by the earthquake risk legends prof. Paolo Bazzurro, prof. Vitor Silva and prof. Dimitrios Vamvatsikos!
Three earthquake engineers walked into a bar in Split, hoping for a quiet yet entertaining night. Little did they know it would turn into a heated argument about what drives the uncertainty in earthquake risk. The darned, unwanted, and unforgiving but yet unavoidable uncertainty in risk. One argued for the hazard component with all its ground motion equations, source models and often neglected site conditions. The other advocated for the vulnerability component, plagued with insufficient intensity measures and poorly defined demand parameters. The last one asked about the exposure component, where we know what we do not know, but also do not know what is unknown! With no hope for agreement, the three earthquake engineers decided that the only path forward was to invite additional opinions to spice up the conversation.
Please join us in Split to settle this scientific brawl!
🚨 More exciting news! 🚨
We are happy to announce a Panel Discussion - Rules and Guidelines for the Design of Simple Masonry Buildings in Seismically Active Area. The panel will feature lectures by prof. Christoph Butenweg and prof. Davor Grandić, followed by a discussion with leading researchers in the field. It will focus on the rules and guidelines for designing simple masonry buildings in seismically active areas – a topic of ongoing importance, made even more relevant by the recent earthquakes in Croatia and the development of the new generation of Eurocodes. Given that these buildings are primarily family homes, they make up a significant portion of the building stock in both urban and rural areas. As such, this subject is of particular interest to both designers and brick manufacturers. The discussion will cover the rules for designing simple masonry buildings, along with the associated design tables. It will also feature the latest findings and techniques in the design and construction of these structures, and introduce a proposed design table for simple masonry buildings for the territory of the Republic of Croatia.
And more exciting news to come in the following days... 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲𝗱!!!
🚨 Exciting News! 🚨
We're thrilled to announce a special session 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀! This session will bring together 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀, including Professors 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗶, 𝗔𝗺𝗿 𝗘𝗹𝗻𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗶, and 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘀, to explore critical insights into earthquake repair and retrofitting. The session will cover two major themes: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (Morning) and 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 (Afternoon). Both sessions feature in-depth overviews, cutting-edge presentations, and a performance-based approach to the repair and retrofitting of structures. The session promises to provide a comprehensive understanding of local and global capacity challenges in this critical field.
