| Summary |
The present volumes contain selected papers which offer up-to-date, comprehensive and state-of-the art information on the fields of Structural Engineering; Monitoring and Control of Structures; Structural Rehabilitation, Retrofitting and Strengthening; Reliability and Durability of Structures; Seismic Engineering; Disaster Prevention and Mitigation; Computational Mechanics. The work thus provides invaluable insights into the current possibilities existing in these fields. This four-volume set compiles peer-reviewed academic and industrial contributions from a May 2012 conference, describing best practices in civil engineering, architecture, and building materials. Man themes are progress in civil engineering and structures, advanced building materials and sustainable architecture, and sustainable transportation. Volume 1 focuses exclusively on structural engineering topics, such as steel beam-column joints of concrete-filled steel tubes. Volume 2 offers further papers on structural engineering, then presents chapters on monitoring and control of structures, in areas such as static analysis of a meteorological tower under lateral loads, and strength of fiber reinforced soil. Volume 3 contains papers on structural rehabilitation and retrofitting, reliability and durability of structures, seismic engineering, and disaster prevention and mitigation. Topics in this section include slide slope stability analysis based on genetic algorithms, and seismic response analysis of large liquid storage tanks. Volume 4 contains further papers on disaster prevention and mitigation, and a chapter on computational mechanics |
