These proceedings cover the fields of different materials and fatigue of welded joints, thin-walled structures, tubular structures, frames, plates and shells and also incorporate special optimization problems, fire and earthquake resistant design, special applications and applied mechanics, and thus provide an important reference for civil and mechanical engineers, architects, designers and fabricators. - Proceedings cover the fields of different materials and fatigue of welded joints, thin-walled structures, tubular structures, frames, plates and shells - Also incorporate special optimization problems, fire and earthquake resistant design, special applications and applied mechanics - Provide an important reference for civil and mechanical engineers, architects, designers and fabricators
