Structural mechanics in Australasia is the focus of the some 100 papers, but among them are also contributions from North America, Japan, Britain, Asia, and Southeast Asia. Only abstracts are provided for the three keynote papers.

Topics covered materials and microstructures; process modelling; crystal imperfections; polycrystals and properties; constitutive modelling; plasticity and failure; metal forming and casting processes and process and product design.

In this volume a number of developments on a variety of topics have been reported. These topics include: partially saturated soil; instabilities in soil behaviour; environmental geomechanics; parallel computing; and applications to tunnels.

This volume presents technical papers devoted to development and practical use of computer methods in geotechnical and geoenviromental engineering.

The 184 papers contained in this volume summarize developments in mining science and technology worldwide and provides insights into the future of mining, outlining the main directions of its development.

The 98 papers from the December 1999 symposium report on new technologies and monitoring approaches in field geotechnical instrument measurements, and case studies on geotechnical projects.

51 papers that describe the state of the art in areas such as: computational models and techniques and structural dynamics.

This text covers topics such as: hydrodynamic and water quality modelling; jets and plumes; turbulent sheer flows; air-water interaction; water quality models; environmental impact studies/Three Gorges project and water quality management.

This text presents papers from the 18th EARSeL Symposium, held in Enschede, Netherlands. The papers are followed by application-oriented contributions on themes such as land use and nature management; water quality and pollution monitoring.

This work details the findings of the 7th International Conference on Mine Planning and Equipment Selection of 1998, held in Calgary. Topics include: design and planning of surface and underground mines; and geotechnical stability in surface.

This text focuses on the main aspects of the debate about the masonry arch bridge. Using information from the 2nd International Conference, the book gives information on the history of structural mechanics and construction.

Looking at the architecture and engineering of tubular structures, and the behaviour of section joints, members and frames under different loads and conditions, this book provides a reference point for both civil and mechanical engineers.

This text is a comprehensive cross section of late-1990s research and practice in the field of the durability of polymer-based, composite, and adhesive systems.

Exploring the many facets of major infrastructure projects, this symposium concentrated on developments within organisational, strategic and policy areas and both traffic and o & m management.

The future of regulation for integrated risk assessments and core applications are the main theme in a book which gives insights into the trends that have developed within chemical, process and nuclear plants.

The contributions to this volume examine: geotechnical hazard acknowledging the diversity of local ground conditions and environmental factors which play a decisive role in designing engineering structures in Danubian countries.

Future plans of the European Commission are presented in this volume. Other themes covered include: land applications; ice; water; ocean and coastal management; methods; models; systems aspects; and a section on data fusion.

Grouped into six sections, the papers in this volume address a wide range of issues on the challenges and opportunities facing underground construction, and the use of underground space.

These proceedings, arising from an international workshop, present research results and ideas on issues of importance to seismic risk reduction and the development of future seismic codes.

This volume provides coverage of subjects including: in-situ stress testing in geo-engineering; rock mass behaviour and its reinforcement; numerical modelling; non-linear problems and much more.

Papers on mine and mill tailings and mine waste, as well as current and future issues facing the mining end environmental communities, are included and discussed in this text.

Presenting current and emerging technologies in the field of mine planning and equipment, this volume also covers control and automation for surface and underground mining.

These proceedings include: five keynote presentations; 26 technical papers; a presentation on the performance of 7.6-m high prototype reinforced soil bridge piers and bridge abutment; and panel discussion on four further volatile subjects.

These proceedings include a selection of a broad range of research topics being investigated in the fields of structures, foundations and materials in Australasia.
