Objective The objectives of the symposium are to bring together young and senior international researchers. Engineers, Architects, steel fabricators and steel manufactures for exchange of information and training in the safe and economical planning, design and execution of tubular structures. Internationally renowned leading scientists are invited, most of whom will be in the international scientific committee. Particular attention will be paid to aesthetics and architectural use, whereby world-renowed architects will also be invited as keynote speakers to present successful projects. This will also encourage interaction with industry.The contents will include:Main topics such as architecture; applications, innovative structures; fabrication, assembly and erection; repair and rehabilitation of existing structures, fire resistance. Specialised topics such as static and fatigue behaviour of connections, concrete filled hollow sections, composite tubular structures; offshore structures; earthquake resistance; development of specifications and standards; expert systems and knowledge-based systems.ftp://ftp.cordis.lu/pub/improving/docs/HPCF-1999-00049-1.pdf Fields of science medical and health sciencesclinical medicinephysiotherapynatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesgeologyseismologynatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligenceexpert systems Programme(s) FP5-HUMAN POTENTIAL - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Improving the human research potential and the socio-economic knowledge base" (1998-2002) Topic(s) 1.4.1.-3.1S3 - Engineering Sciences Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme ACM - Preparatory, accompanying and support measures Coordinator Type of Event: Euro Conference EU contribution No data Address This event takes place in Dusseldorf Germany See on map Total cost No data
