Advances in Civil, Architectural, Structural and Constructional Engineering

The ICCASCE 2015 conference covers a wide range of fields in science and engineering innovation and aims to bring together engineering technology expertise. Scientists, scholars, engineers and students from universities, research institutes and industries all around the world gathered to present on-going research activities. This proceedings volume consists of papers covering a range of topics in Civil, Architectural, Structural and Constructional Engineering and Advanced Materials and Mechanics, a hot topic in engineering in the last decades. Recent trends show that the application of nanotechnology and environmental science together with advanced materials and mechanics are playing an increasingly important role in different engineering applications. Covering this trend, this volume provides both theoretical and practical applications in the advanced engineering analysis of materials for the Civil, Architectural, Structural and Constructional branches, incorporating these along with the latest analytical techniques, instrumentation, and regulations. This book covers various topics such as advanced construction materials, smart materials in manufacturing and materials science, smart structures and systems, vibration and noise control, informational technology of materials, power conversion and intelligent control and fluid dynamics among others. Furthermore, the authors provide guidelines to researchers and engineers, enabling them to prepare and understand the materials and construction responses and analyses. The analytical methods presented in engineering applications and analysis for materials will be useful to anyone who produces, uses, or evaluates construction data, and will be a valuable tool in advanced engineering education and training programs.
