Looking at the architecture and engineering of tubular structures, and the behaviour of section joints, members and frames under different loads and conditions, this book provides a reference point for both civil and mechanical engineers.

This text is a comprehensive cross section of late-1990s research and practice in the field of the durability of polymer-based, composite, and adhesive systems.

Exploring the many facets of major infrastructure projects, this symposium concentrated on developments within organisational, strategic and policy areas and both traffic and o & m management.

The future of regulation for integrated risk assessments and core applications are the main theme in a book which gives insights into the trends that have developed within chemical, process and nuclear plants.

The contributions to this volume examine: geotechnical hazard acknowledging the diversity of local ground conditions and environmental factors which play a decisive role in designing engineering structures in Danubian countries.

Future plans of the European Commission are presented in this volume. Other themes covered include: land applications; ice; water; ocean and coastal management; methods; models; systems aspects; and a section on data fusion.

Grouped into six sections, the papers in this volume address a wide range of issues on the challenges and opportunities facing underground construction, and the use of underground space.

These proceedings, arising from an international workshop, present research results and ideas on issues of importance to seismic risk reduction and the development of future seismic codes.

This volume provides coverage of subjects including: in-situ stress testing in geo-engineering; rock mass behaviour and its reinforcement; numerical modelling; non-linear problems and much more.

Papers on mine and mill tailings and mine waste, as well as current and future issues facing the mining end environmental communities, are included and discussed in this text.

Presenting current and emerging technologies in the field of mine planning and equipment, this volume also covers control and automation for surface and underground mining.

These proceedings include: five keynote presentations; 26 technical papers; a presentation on the performance of 7.6-m high prototype reinforced soil bridge piers and bridge abutment; and panel discussion on four further volatile subjects.

These proceedings include a selection of a broad range of research topics being investigated in the fields of structures, foundations and materials in Australasia.

Containing six keynote lectures and 63 technical papers, this volume explores themes including: mechanism of seismic events and rockbursts; monitoring of seismicity; geology, mining and seismicity; and rockbust hazard assessment and ground control.

Research reported in the volume includes work in the: industrial and field systems; powder compaction; agglomeration and fracture; quasi-static deformations; stress fluctuations; vibrated beds; collisional grain flows; and avalanches.

The 115 papers that comprise this volume provide keys to realize more comfortable living conditions in snow countries.

This collection of conference papers covers such topics as: substructuring and modal systems; modal identification; updating of finite elements models; vibroacoustic analysis; non-deterministic analysis of structures; and non-linear analysis.

This CD-ROM includes the complete proceedings of this symposium on mine simulation, while the accompanying book contains abstracts of all the papers.

This work provides a summary of recent research into health and safety on construction sites. Topics covered include safety and health regulations and statistics and social and human issues on construction safety.

This volume contains 60 papers dealing with research results in the field of tubular structures. The following areas are covered: applications; static and fatigue behaviour of hollow section joints; and beam-to-column connections.

This collection of symposium essays is divided into four sections: experimental fluid dynamics; computational fluid dynamics; environmental applications and free surface flows; and multiphase flows, heat transfer and combustion.

This collection of conference papers on technology and sport covers aerodynamics, biomechanics, design, dynamics, instrumentation, materials, mechanics, modelling, motion analysis, and vibrations.
