Proceedings Of The Symposium On The Use Of High Strength Steel Structures

This book comprises the select proceedings of Structural Damage Modelling and Assessment (SDMA 2020) presented online on 4–5 August 2020. It discusses the recent advances in fields related to damage modelling, damage detection and assessment, non-destructive testing and evaluation, structure integrity and structural health monitoring. The conference covers all research topics and applications relevant to structural damage modelling and assessment using theoretical, numerical and experimental techniques. This book is useful to scientists and engineers in academia and industry who are interested in the field of structural damage and integrity.

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.
