Advances and Trends in Structural Engineering, Mechanics and
Computation features over 300 papers classified into 21 sections,
which were presented at the Fourth International Conference on
Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation (SEMC 2010, Cape
Town, South Africa, 6-8 September 2010). The SEMC conferences have
been held every 3 years in Cape Town, and since then brought
together academics, researchers and practitioners active in
structural mechanics, associated computation and structural
engineering. The main purpose of the conferences was to review
recent achievements in the advancement of knowledge and
understanding in these areas, share the latest developments, and
address the challenges that the present and the future pose. All
major aspects of structural mechanics, associated computation and
structural engineering are addressed in the present volume,
including: structural mechanics (dynamics, vibration, impact,
buckling, seismic response, fluid-structure interaction,
soil-structure interaction); mechanics of materials (plasticity,
fracture, fatigue, creep, shrinkage, damage, deterioration);
numerical/computational modelling (numerical methods, formulations,
finite-element modelling, structural modelling, material modelling,
simulations); structural engineering and construction in the
various materials (steel, concrete, timber, masonry, glass,
steel-concrete composite, fibre-reinforced composite, laminated
composite); design, construction and operational considerations
(fire resistance, seismic resistance, loading, safety and
reliability, codification, design optimisation, construction,
assembly, monitoring, maintenance, repair, retrofitting). The
structures dealt with include all sorts of buildings, sports
facilities, bridges, viaducts, tunnels, underground structures,
foundation structures, coastal structures, dams, industrial towers
and masts, containment structures (silos, tanks and pressure
vessels), ship and aircraft structures, motor-vehicle structures,
mechanical components and biological structures. Advances and
Trends in Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation is
published as a book of extended abstracts, and an accompanying
CD-ROM with the full papers, and will be much of interest to
engineers, academics and researchers in civil, structural,
mechanical and aerospace engineering, and to those concerned with
the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of engineering
structures.
