Mechanics of Structures and Materials XXIV Proceedings of the 24th Australian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM24, Perth, Australia, 6-9 December 2016)

Mechanics of Structures and Materials: Advancements and Challenges is a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the 24th Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM24, Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, 6-9 December 2016). The contributions from academics, researchers and practising engineers from Australasian, Asia-pacific region and around the world, cover a wide range of topics, including:

 Structural mechanics
 Computational mechanics
 Reinforced and prestressed concrete structures
 Steel structures
 Composite structures
 Civil engineering materials
 Fire engineering
 Coastal and offshore structures
 Dynamic analysis of structures
 Structural health monitoring and damage identification
 Structural reliability analysis and design
 Structural optimization
 Fracture and damage mechanics
 Soil mechanics and foundation engineering
 Pavement materials and technology
 Shock and impact loading
 Earthquake loading
 Traffic and other man-made loadings
 Wave and wind loading
 Thermal effects
 Design codes

Mechanics of Structures and Materials: Advancements and Challenges will be of interest to academics and professionals involved in Structural Engineering and Materials Science.
