Tubular Structures V

The book "Tubular Structures V" is a compilation of papers from the 5th International Symposium on Tubular Structures. The symposium was held in Birmingham, England in 1995 and was sponsored by British Steel, the International Institute of Welding and CIDECT. The papers cover a variety of topics related to tubular structures, including design, fabrication, and construction. The book is of interest to structural engineers and others in the research and development field, as well as architects.

The book forms the Proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Tubular Structures, following previous events in Boston (1984), Tokyo (1986), Finland (1989), Delft (1991). Sponsored by British Steel, International Institute of Welding and CIDECT, it forms an important forum for advanced structural research and development. The contributions cover developments in design, planning fabrication and construction of structures, prestigious international developments, and the continuing work of research and development; which are proceeding throughout the world. These papers describe the innovative use of structural steel, while also indicating developments in the understanding of the behaviour of such structures, with refinement of design procedures. This book should be of interest to structural engineers in reserach and industry, offshore industry, and architects.
