Launched in May 2000, the aims of the COST C12 cooperative action were:
to develop, combine and disseminate new technical engineering technologies
to improve the quality of urban buildings
to propose new technical solutions to architects and planners
to reduce the disturbance caused by construction in urban areas and improve urban quality of life.
This volume contains the proceedings of the COST C12 final conference held in Innsbruck, Austria from January 20-22 2005. The book reflects not only the outcome of the four years work of the...

Behaviour of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas is a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the field of seismic resistant steel structures. It comprises a collection of papers presented at the fifth International Specialty Conference STESSA 2006, held in Yokohama, Japan, in August 2006. The latest progress in both theoretical and experimental research on the behaviour of steel structures in seismic areas is presented under the followings themes: Performance- Based Design of Structures; Seismic, Wind and Exceptional Load; Material Behaviour; Member Behaviour; Connection...

Steel is distinctly versatile building material whose powers lie in wide-span constructions in the field of civil engineering as well as facade surfacing or of high-rise houses. Steel is very trendy. This can be seen not only with the growing number of skyscrapers in Asia; the material is also increasingly used in surface design. This publication about steel in construction is aimed at the promotion of steel as favoured construction and building material giving all necessary information to enable planers and decision makers to base their project conceptions and pre-design on steel solutions....
