Editorial Reviews

Structural mechanics in Australasia is the focus of the some 100 papers, but among them are also contributions from North America, Japan, Britain, Asia, and southeast Asia. Only abstracts are provided for the three keynote papers. The others cover computational and fracture mechanics, advances in design and construction methods, reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, steel structures, composite structures, building and construction products, design codes, environmental loadings, composites engineering and new materials, dynamic analyses of structures, structural analysis and stability, foundation engineering, and optimization and reliability. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
