From Materials to Structures: Advancement through Innovation

From Materials to Structures: Advancement through Innovation is a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the 22nd Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM22) held in Sydney Australia, from 11-14 December 2012 by academics, researchers and practising engineers mainly from Australasia and the Asia-Pacific region. The topics under discussion include:

* Biomechanics
* Composite structures and materials
* Computational mechanics
* Concrete, masonry, steel and timber structures
* Earthquake engineering and structural dynamics
* Fire engineering
* Geomechanics
* Foundation engineering
* Innovative and smart structures
* Pavement engineering
* Rehabilitation of structures
* Rock engineering
* Site investigation
* Soil improvement and reinforcement
* Structural health monitoring
* Structural optimisation
* Sustainable materials

From Materials to Structures: Advancement through Innovation will be a valuable reference for academics, researchers and practising engineers working in structural and material engineering and mechanics.
