Publisher's Synopsis
Incorporating Sustainable Practice in Mechanics of Structures and Materials is a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the 21st Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM21, Victoria, University, Melbourne, Australia, 7th - 10th of December 2010). The contributions from academics, researchers and practising engineers from 17 countries, mainly from Australasia and the Asia-pacific region, cover a wide range of topics, including:
Composite structures
Computational mechanics
Concrete structures
Dynamic analysis of structures
Earthquake and wind engineering
Fibre composites
Fire engineering
Geomechanics and foundation engineering
Masonry structures
Mechanics of materials
Shock and impact loading
Steel and aluminium structures
Structural health monitoring
Structural optimisation
Sustainable materials
Timber engineering
Incorporating Sustainable Practice in Mechanics of Structures and Materials will be a valuable reference for academics, researchers and practising engineers working in structural engineering and structural mechanics.
