The conference is a sequel to the First and the
Second International Conferences on Advances in Steel Structures held in Hong
Kong in December 1996 and 1999.
The conference provides a forum for discussion and dissemination by researchers
and designers of recent advances in the analysis, behavior, design and
construction of steel structures.
Papers were contributed from over 18 countries
around the world.
They report current state-of-the art and point to
future directions of structural steel research, covering a wide spectrum of
topics including:
- beams and columns
- connections
- scaffolds and slender structures
- cold-formed steel
- composite construction
- plates
- shells
- bridges
- dynamics
- impact mechanics
- effects of welding
- fatigue and fracture
- fire performance
- and analysis and design
