Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Five thick volumes contain the proceedings of ICSBM 2011, held in Guagzhou, China. Something close to 800 papers are arranged in topical sections covering steel structures, concrete structures, novel hybrid structural systems, optimization, monitoring and control, reliability and durability, rehabilitation, retrofitting and strengthening, wind and earthquake engineering, and smart structures. A more specific sampling of topics to give an idea of the highly technical level: effects of rare earths on austenite grain growth behavior in X80 pipeline steel, the passive energy-dissipation study of braced steel frame structure, design capacity of T-strut subject to compressive force, numerical analysis of pre-stressed steel trusses subjected to fire load, crack controlling research of concrete foundation for large equipment in winter, and properties of oxidated carbon fibers reinforced cement. A keyword index is included along with an author list.
