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 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.
