Incorporating Sustainable Practice in Mechanics and Structures of Materials

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 engineeringIncorporating 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.
