Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 2nd International Conference on Building Materials and Structural Engineering (BMSE2013), May 24-25, 2013, Beijing, China.
The 54 papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Research on Building Engineering and Building Materials;
Chapter 2: Structures Engineering;
Chapter 3: Research on Applied Materials;
Chapter 4: Related Topics.

Description: These papers were presented at the Third International Workshop on the Performance, Protection and Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading - Protect2011 - held in Lugano (Switzerland) from August 30th to September 1st, 2011. This event sprang from the cross-border cooperation between two universities, SUPSI and Politecnico di Milano, which have long been engaged in research in these particular areas. Protect2011 is a clear sign that such collaboration offers the opportunity for mutual growth, to the benefit of all.
