Modern Trends in Research on Steel, Aluminium and Composite Structures includes papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Metal Structures 2021 (ICMS 2021, Poznan, Poland, 16-18 June 2021). The 14th ICMS summarised a few years' theoretical, numerical and experimental research on steel, aluminium and composite structures, and presented new concepts. This book contains six plenary lectures and all the individual papers presented during the Conference. Seven plenary lectures were presented at the Conference, including "Research developments on glass structures under extreme loads", Parhp3D - The parallel MPI/openMPI implementation of the 3D hp-adaptive FE code", "Design of beam-to-column steel-concrete composite joints: from Eurocodes and beyond", "Stainless steel structures - research, codification and practice", "Testing, modelling and design of bolted joints - effect of size, structural properties, integrity and robustness", "Design of hybrid beam-to-column joints between RHS tubular columns and I-section beams" and "Selected aspects of designing the cold-formed steel structures". The individual contributions delivered by authors covered a wide variety of topics: - Advanced analysis and direct methods of design, - Cold-formed elements and structures, - Composite structures, - Engineering structures, - Joints and connections, - Structural stability and integrity, - Structural steel, metallurgy, durability and behaviour in fire. Modern Trends in Research on Steel, Aluminium and Composite Structures is a useful reference source for academic researchers, graduate students as well as designers and fabricators.

Recent Progress in Steel and Composite Structures includes papers presented at the XIIIth International Conference on Metal Structures (ICMS 2016, Zielona Gora, Poland, 15-17 June 2016). The contributions focus on the progress made in theoretical, numerical and experimental research, with special attention given to new concepts and algorithmic procedures, and to background knowledge as well as the development and implementation of rules and recommendations for codification worldwide. In addition to the five keynote papers the book contains 62 two-page extended abstracts of individual contributions delivered by 164 Authors and Co-authors from 13 countries of four continents. The CD containing all full-length papers is an attachment to the conference book. Recent Progress in Steel and Composite Structures is a useful reference source to academics, researchers, graduate students and practicing engineers.

Progress in Steel, Composite and Aluminium Structures contains the proceedings of the XI International Conference on Metal Structures ICMS 2006 held in RzeszA(3)w, Poland from 21-23 June 2006. This proceedings brings together recent activities and achievements in theoretical and experimental research, as well as its practical implementation in design practice in the areas of Steel, Aluminium, Composite Steel-Concrete and Metal-Glass Structures, Bridges, Industrial Structures, Shell and Spatial Structures, Suspended and Prestressed Systems. The papers tackle such issues as strength, stability and nonlinear analysis, including postyielding and postbuckling behaviour; static, dynamic and seismic analysis; effect of imperfections on strength, stiffness and deflections in the evaluation of limit states of structural systems; effects of connector, connection and joint deformability on structural performance; structural safety and reliability assessment; fire behaviour modelling; optimisation and expert systems; wind loading on structures and topics concerning architecture, formfinding and construction practice. Progress in Steel, Composite and Aluminium Structures represents the expertise emanating from a wide range of countries. It is a useful reference source for academic staff, researchers, graduate students and practising engineers. The book balances papers with a theoretical slant on modelling and computation, and with those of a practical nature, dealing with design and standardization, code development, safety, durability, aesthetics and constructional aspects.
