3rd International Conference on Seismic Retrofitting - Bridge & Lifeline Engineering

ICSR2010 will aim at bringing together from around the world academics, researchers and practitioners in the broad fields of seismic retrofitting and structural engineering, to review recent achievements in the advancement of knowledge and understanding in these areas, share the latest developments, and address the challenges that the present and the future pose. It is hoped that the cross fertilization between theory and practice that is anticipated will promote a better understanding of structural behavior for seismic retrofitting, facilitate more realistic material and structural modeling, lead to the development and enhance the confidence of structural-engineering practice.
