Description: This Special Issue of Key Engineering Materials, commemorating the 90th birthday of Professor Jan Sobota, attempts to provide a flavor of the wide range of his interest in and contributions to structural mechanics and the Finite Element Method. Professor Sobota was an outstanding academic teacher, in both didactic and pedagogical fields, a highly talented research worker, incorporating both theory and engineering practice. His attitude, industriousness, and cordiality brought him a great esteem among his co-workers and a students’ community. He was a pioneer in using the Finite Element Method, Transfer Matrix Method and the Boundary Integrals Method and its numerical modification Boundary Element Method in former Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia and the Czech Republic). Therefore, selected papers in this book are dealing with modeling and analyzing of various reinforced concrete structures and its parts mainly by the FEM. Different problems of structures, e.g. design of complicated structures, defects of structures, determination of wind load on atypical structures, soil-structure interactions, thermal effects, etc.; are involved and their suitable solutions are provided to readers.

Description: Selected papers from the Proceedings of the 13^th International Conference on New Trends in the Statics and Dynamics of Buildings, held on October 15 -16, 2015, in Bratislava, Slovakia. The conference was organized by the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Faculty of Civil Engineering, in cooperation with the Slovak Society of Mechanics, Slovak Academy of Science in Bratislava.
Selected problems in statics, dynamics of buildings and bridges and wind engineering are discussed in these papers. New approaches in theoretical solution, numerical modeling and experimental measurements have been presented. Also some properties of selected materials are investigated. The topics of papers in this book are actual, and they would be interesting for other scientists and experts.
