The 2026 International Conference on Computational Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction (CompDSSI) and the 2026 International Advanced School in Soil-structure and Fluid-Structure Interactions in OpenSees (SFSI-OS) will take place in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy in late June-early July 2026.
The organizing committee is expecting the call for abstracts to open in early October 2025. Please visit the confernce website for updates and details.
2026 SFSI-OS
The School will build upon the previous editions (Soil-Structure Interaction in OpenSees, February 2023, September 2024) by extending its scope to an in-depth discussion of the following cutting-edge topics: dynamic soil-structure, fluid-structure, and soil-fluid-structure interactions (earthquakes, tsunamis, debris flows, fire).
The scientific sessions will be led by internationally recognised experts of the OpenSees world. During the School, numerical procedures for multiphysics interaction problems will be developed interactively, with progressively increasing complexity and accuracy.The organisation of the 2026 SFSI-OS is guided by the following group: Davide Noè Gorini, Prof. Pedro Arduino (University of Washington, USA), Prof. José Abell (Universidad de los Andes, Chile), Prof. Nicola Tondini (University of Trento, Italy), Prof. Guido Camata (University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy).
2026 CompDSSI
The upcoming edition of CompDSSI will focus on cutting-edge numerical approaches (not limited to OpenSees) for analysing the dynamic performance (not only seismic) of soil-structure systems.Advances in this field are playing an increasingly central role in the protection of civil engineering structures against natural hazards. We therefore believe it is essential to share knowledge systematically, in a cohesive, purposeful and multidisciplinary environment.
Another key point of CompDSSI is the involvement of designers, regarded as fundamental to orient and inspire new lines of research, and to foster their implementation into the design, protection, and retrofitting of structures.
Unlike the previous edition (September 2024), the 2026 CompDSSI will be organised as a full-fledged Conference, with broader participation and Scopus-indexed contributions.
The topics of the scientific sessions, the Keynote Speakers and the oral presentations are meticulously selected by a prestigious and broad, international Scientific Committee, with the aim of promoting high-quality contributions and the dissemination of innovative philosophies for design and assessment.
The Organising Committee is composed of: Davide Noè Gorini, Prof. Pedro Arduino, Prof. José Abell, and Dr. Domenico Gallese (Gruner Stucky, Switzerland).
