Performance, Protection and Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading

Performance, Protection and Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading

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.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
In common with previous Protect workshops, this book contains over 100 peer-reviewed papers, originating from about 30 countries on 5 continents, that collectively provide an excellent snapshot of the state-of-the-art of this field and highlight some remarkable modern developments.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The more than 100 selected and peer-reviewed papers contained in this collection originally were presented at the Third International Workshop on Performance, Protection and Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading held August 30-September 1, 2011, in Lugano, Switzerland. It includes keynote lectures and papers on a broad variety of topics, including: free water influence on the dynamic tensile behavior of concrete, numerical modeling of honeycomb energy dissipating materials, a multi-scale fracture model for quasi-brittle materials, the influence of loading rate on shear failure resistance of RC beams, a numerical simulation of a terrorist attack, composite steel stud blast panel design and experimental testing, and real scale experiments on rockfall protection barriers. Editors are Cadoni and de Prisco, workshop chairmen.
