Tubular Structures XI 31 August to 2 September 2006
Québec
City, Canada
Proceedings of the “Eleventh International Symposium on
Tubular Structures - ISTS11”
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.
