Preface

It is our great pleasure to welcome researchers and scholars from all over the world to attend the 5th International Conference on Hydraulic and Civil Engineering (ICHCE 2019), which was hosted by Hohai University, co-organized by the Hydraulic Structures Committee of Chinese Hydraulic Engineering Society, Tsinghua University, the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research and some other societies, universities and research institutes from May 10th to 12th, 2019 at Hohai University, Nanjing, China. The conference mainly focuses on the research fields of water conservancy and civil engineering, and is dedicated to provide the experts, scholars, engineers, etc. from different colleges and universities, research institutes, enterprises and institutions from home and abroad, with an academic platform for sharing of academic research findings, exploration of the cutting-edge engineering issues and discussion on the current opportunities and challenges, in a concerted effort to promote international cooperation and communication and the industrialization of scientific research results. We are glad to invite Houqun Chen, academician of China Engineering Academy, Chuhan Zhang, Tsinghua University, Dr. James E Lindell, Prof. HoKyung Kim, Seoul National University, etc. as our keynote speakers who made amazing speeches in the conference. In this conference, we have received more than xxx papers, each of which has gone through a strict reviewing process performed by our international reviewers. One paper is reviewed by at least two reviewers and the paper would be transmitted to the third reviewer assigned by the chairs, if two reviewers had conflicting opinions. Only after obtaining the approval from the reviewers, we would publish those papers. Finally, 418 papers with great quality will be published.
