Structural Stability and Design

The papers in this volume represent the most recent findings in the area of structural stability and encompass the more traditional areas of lateral-torsional & local buckling, as well as newer applications in testing, structural analysis, composite & concrete structures. Also included is the state of the art research into dynamic & cyclic loading, with the latter application being of particular importance in the area of earthquake engineering. The breadth of the scope of contributions, as well as the regional nature of the research represented by the geographic spread of the papers across some 5 continents, will ensure that this volume is a reference for recent trends in the research and application of techniques in structural stability and design.
