Advances in Civil Engineering and Architecture

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Chen (Hainan U., China) et al. present a seven-volume set containing about 1,300 papers from the 2011 International Conference on Civil Engineering, Architecture and Building Materials, held in June 2011 in Haikou, China. The conference shared knowledge and facilitated networking interactions on emerging trends and new challenges in civil engineering, architecture, and building materials. Contributed by engineers from China, papers focus on topics in structural, bridge, geotechnical, geological, seismic, road and railway, transportation, hydraulic, coastal, water supply and drainage, and surveying engineering; tunnel, subway, and underground facilities; heating, gas supply, ventilation, and air conditioning works; disaster prevention and mitigation; environment-friendly construction and development; monitoring, control, reliability, and durability of structures; structural rehabilitation, retrofitting, and strengthening; cartography and geographic information systems; computational mechanics; construction technology; computer simulation and CAD/CAE; engineering management; architectural design and theory; building technology science; urban and landscape planning and design; and other topics.
