This Symposium seeks to provide a forum for presentation of
new trends in research and development of shell and spatial
structures. Researchers and engineers are invited to exchange
their achievements and experience on topics ranging from the
academic to the practicing aspects of the structures considered.
Presentations of heuristic methods for theoretical or
experimental investigations are especially welcome. |
Themes
The scope of the Symposium covers various aspects of the theory,
analysis, design, and construction of shell and spatial structures
and will include at least the following topics:
1. Stability, dynamic, and fracture behaviors;
2. Geometric and material nonlinear analyses;
3. Thin-walled or thin-shell structures;
4. Form finding and optimization;
5. Experiments and case studies;
6. AI and expert systems;
7. Digital or smart structures;
8. Innovative design and construction methods;
9. Automation and monitoring techniques;
10. Structural morphology;
11. Repair and retrofit;
12. Control techniques;
13. Bridge engineering and;
14. Other related topics.
