Analysis and Computation (1996)

Proceedings of the 12th Analysis and Computation Conference at Structures Congress XIV, held in Chicago, Illinois, April 15-18, 1996. Sponsored by ASCE.

This collection contains 49 papers that present an integrated view of recent developments in various phases of analysis and computation.

Topics include:

• emerging computing technology;
• computer applications in practice;
• optimization;
• base-isolated structures;
• hybrid and semi-active control of structures;
• computer-aided structural engineering;
• intelligent structures; and
• recent advances in bridge analysis and design.

These topics are explored in relation to mathematical models, formulations, computation, and experimental verifications of buildings, bridges, and other structures.
