Description
This book contains 38 papers presented at the seventh Working Conference on 'Reliability and Optimization of Structural Systems' held
at Boulder, Colorado, USA, on April 2-4, 1996. The Working Conference was organized by the IFIP (International Federation for Information
Processing) Working Group 7.5 of Technical Committee 7 and was the seventh in a series of similar conferences. The objectives of the
Working Group and hence this publication are:
• to promote modern structural systems optimization and reliability theory,
•
to advance international co-operation in the field of structural system optimization and reliability theory,
• to stimulate
research, development and application of structural system optimization and reliability theory,
• to further dissemination and
exchange of information on reliability and optimization of structural systems, and
• to encourage education in structural system
organization and reliability theory.
Audience:
For engineers, research and development workers involved in the areas of structural and earthquake engineering and mathematical optimization.
