Summary:

This proceedings volume is the first from a new edition of the High Performance Design of Structures and Materials and the Optimum Design of Structures conferences, which follows the success of a number of meetings that originated in 1989. This book will be of interest to those in any engineering field including civil engineering and architecture.
