Recent advances in steel structures

摘要

This special issue on the recent advances in steel structures contains nine selected papers which were presented at the Seventh International Conference on Advances in Steel Structures (ICASS'2012) held in Nanjing from 14 to 16 April 2012. All the papers have been extended significantly and have been peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field. The topics cover the analysis, behaviour and design of steel structures, including plates and shells, beams and columns, frames and trusses, connections, space structures, cold-formed steel, high strength steel, and fire engineering.
