Organized by:
Steering Committee of the Second International Workshop on Structural Control
International Association of Structural Control (IASC)
 
Hosted by:

Objective:
The purpose of this Workshop was to bring together engineers and others interested in the general field of response control and monitoring of buildings, bridges and other civil infrastructure systems, in order to facilitate research, development and applications of these technologies to improve safety serviceability and economy of these structures when subjected to environmental loads. To achieve this objective, the Workshop program was structured so that participants could:

  1. share new information and ideas relating to these technologies
  2. work together to promote international cooperation for advancing these technologies by sharing knowledge, resources and test facilities.

Papers:
Approximately 60 invited and contributed papers were presented on applications and research in response control and monitoring of buildings, bridges and other infrastructure systems. Contributed papers were selected on the basis of abstracts submitted in response to an earlier Call for Papers.
