International Symposium On Steel For Fabricated Structures

These proceedings were held during the ASM International Materials Solutions Conference and Exposition in Cincinnati, OH on November 1-4, 1999. The purpose of this symposium was to provide a forum for technical exchange on the latest research and developments in steel technology, as well as future technical challenges. Most of the papers that were presented appear in these proceedings. The papers are either focused on microalloyed and thermomechanically-controlled processed steel products or conventionally rolled and heat treated steel products with balanced properties for use in many structural applications. The steels, designed for such applications as bridges, construction vehicles, linepipe, shipbuilding, and mining equipment, exhibit high strength and toughness and superior weldability to provide designers and fabricators with new opportunities to design and fabricate cost-effective structures with longer fatigue life. Contents include: Twenty seven papers included on the following topics: Plenary session Heat-treated and copper-alloyed plates Thermomechanically control-processed plates Other plates and structural shapes Weldability issues.

This two volume proceedings contains 11 invited keynote papers, 33 invited papers, and 225 contributed papers presented at the Fourth International Conference on Advances in Steel Structures (ICASS '05) held on 13-15 June 2005 in Shanghai, China. ICASS provides a forum for discussion and dissemination by researchers and designers of recent advances in the analysis, behaviour, design and construction of steel structures. Contributions to the papers came from 22 countries around the world and cover a wide spectrum of topics including: Constructional Steel, Hybrid Structures, Nonferrous Metals, Analysis of Beams and Columns, Computations, Frames, Design, Space Structures, Fabrication, along with a variety of other key subjects presented at the conference.

Contains 14 papers on topics related to design, analysis and construction of steel and steel-concrete composite structures by researchers and engineers from Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan,Singapore, Taiwan, Uk and USA.

This topical book contains the latest scientific and engineering developments in the field of tubular steel structures, as presented at the "11th International Symposium and IIW International Conference on Tubular Structures". The International Symposium on Tubular Structures (ISTS) has a long-standing reputation for being the principal showcase for manufactured tubing and the prime international forum for discussion of research, developments and applications in this field. Various key and emerging subjects in the field of hollow structural sections are covered, such as: novel applications and case studies, static and fatigue behaviour of connections/joints, concrete-filled and composite tubular members, earthquake resistance, specification and code developments, material properties and structural reliability, impact resistance and brittle fracture, fire resistance, casting and fabrication innovations. Research and development issues presented in this book are applicable to buildings, bridges, offshore structures, entertainment rides, cranes, towers and various mechanical and agricultural equipment. This book is thus a pertinent reference source for architects, civil and mechanical engineers, designers, steel fabricators and contractors, manufacturers of hollow sections or related construction products, trade associations involved with tubing, owners or developers of tubular structures, steel specification committees, academics and research students. The conference presentations herein include two keynote lectures (the International Institute of Welding Houdremont Lecture and the ISTS Kurobane Lecture), plus finalists in the CIDECT Student Papers Competition. The 11th International Symposium and IIW International Conference on Tubular Structures – ISTS11 – took place in Québec City, Canada from August 31 to September 2, 2006.
