ABSTRACT
The aim of this mini-symposium is to summarize the progress in theoretical, computational
and experimental research in the field of steel and steel-concrete composite structures. Special
emphasis is always given to new concepts and procedures concerning the computational
modelling, structural analysis and design of steel and steel-concrete composite structures.
Topics of interest include linear and nonlinear structural dynamics, fatigue analysis, stability
design, connections, cold-formed members, buildings, bridges and footbridges, fire
engineering, trusses, tower and masts and soil-structure interaction.
