Symposium on Tubular Structures (ISTS13), Hong Kong, 15 – 17 December YOUNG
2010. The International Symposium on Tubular Structures (ISTS) has a long-
standing reputation for being the principal showcase for manufactured tubing EDITOR
STRUCTURES XIII
and the prime international forum for discussion of research, developments
and applications in this fi eld. The Symposium presentations herein include
one invited ISTS Kurobane Lecture together with all the technical papers.
Various key and emerging subjects in the fi eld of hollow structural sections S T
are covered, such as: special applications and case studies, static and
T U
fatigue behaviour of connections/joints, concrete-fi lled and composite tubular
members and offshore structures, stainless steel and aluminium structures,
R
B
earthquake and dynamic resistance, specifi cation and standard develop-
ments, material properties and structural reliability, impact resistance and U
U
brittle fracture, fi re resistance, casting and fabrication innovations. Research
and development issues presented in this book are applicable to buildings,
C
L
bridges, offshore structures, entertainment rides, cranes, towers and various
mechanical and agricultural equipment. T A
U
This book is thus a pertinent reference source for architects, civil and mechan-
R
ical engineers, designers, steel fabricators and contractors, manufacturers of
R
hollow sections or related construction products, trade associations involved
with tubing, owners or developers of tubular structures, steel specifi cation
E
committees, academics and research students all around the world.
