Preface
This book contains the papers presented at the 13th International Symposium on Tubular Structures
(ISTS13) held in Hong Kong, China, from December 15 to 17, 2010. The Symposium was organised by
The University of Hong Kong in collaboration with the International Institute of Welding Subcommis-
sion XV-E and the Comité International pour le Développement et l’Étude de la Construction Tubulaire
(CIDECT). The 12 previous symposia, held between 1984 and 2008, are described in the “Publications of
the previous symposia on tubular structures” of this book. Throughout its 26-year history the frequency,
location and technical content of all the symposia has been determined by the IIW Subcommission XV-E
on Tubular Structures.
CIDECT financially supported the publication of the Proceedings and the CIDECT President’s stu-
dent awards competition. In addition, several corporate sponsors provided key funding: Tata Steel Inter-
national, Vallourec & Mannesmann Tubes (V&M), Wo Lee Steel Co. Ltd, Genetron Engineering Co. Ltd
and Stalatube OY. It is their generous support that made it possible for this Symposium to continue the
tradition of allowing presenting authors of papers to attend the Symposium without payment of registra-
tion fees. From modest beginnings this Symposium has now grown to become the principal showcase for
manufactured tubing and the prime international forum for discussion of research, developments and
applications in the field of tubular structures.
This proceedings contains 93 peer-reviewed papers including 6 student papers, which have been
reviewed by two international experts in the field. One paper is the invited Kurobane Lecture, given by
Dr. Nick Zettlemoyer of the U.S.A., selected by the IIW Subcommission XV-E. The “Kurobane Lec-
ture” is the International Symposium on Tubular Structures Keynote Address which was inaugurated at
the ISTS8 in 1998. Furthermore, CIDECT has sponsored and administered the “CIDECT President’s
Student Awards” competition. One Research Award and one Design Award are given at the Symposium.
In these awards, university students world-wide have been invited to submit entries pertaining to their
tubular structures research and design. A judging panel established by CIDECT has resulted in the three
finalists from each of these awards. Therefore, six student award papers are presented at the Symposium.
The student award papers are printed at the Symposium Program (ISBN 978-962-8014-20-0). The two
winners of these awards were announced at the ISTS13.
The editor would like to express his great gratitude to the reviewers for their hard and excellent work.
The editor also wishes to express his appreciation to the staff at The University of Hong Kong who helped
to check the formats of the manuscripts. Special thanks are owed to Ran Feng, Aggie Sung and Ruby
Kwok for their effort on this Symposium.
The information provided in this publication is the sole responsibility of the individual authors. It does
not reflect the opinion of the editor, supporting associations, organisations or sponsors, and they are not
responsible for any use that might be made of information appearing in this publication. Anyone making
use of the contents of this book assumes all liability arising from such use.
The editor hopes that the contemporary applications, case studies, concepts, insights, overviews,
research summaries, analyses and product developments described in this book provide some inspiration
to architects, developers, contractors, engineers and fabricators to build ever more innovative and com-
petitive tubular structures. This archival volume of the current “state of the art” will also serve as excellent
reference material to academics, researchers, trade associations and manufacturers of hollow sections in
the future.
