1st Edition
Tubular Structures XII Proceedings of Tubular Structures XII, Shanghai, China, 8-10 October 2008
Presentation of the latest scientific and engineering developments in the field of tubular steel structures. Covers key and emerging subjects of hollow structural sections, such as: static and fatigue behaviour of connections/joints, concrete filled hollow sections and composite tubular members, offshore structures, earthquake resistance, specification and standard developments, manufacture and construction of tubular structures, material properties and structural reliability, sustainability of tubular structures, fire resistance, casting, novel applications and case studies. A pertinent reference of over 90 contributions by international experts, intended for architects, civil and mechanical engineers, steel fabricators, contractors and manufacturers.
