Structural Safety and Reliability: Proceedings of Icossar '89, the 5th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability, San Francisco,

Some 340 papers, representing authors from thirty countries, cover a wide range of developments in structural safety and reliability that concern all types of structures from space structures to land-based facilities and ocean/offshore systems. Some of the topics included are wind engineering, seismic design, building performance, redundancy, fatigue, load modeling, optimal design, and risk analysis. A valuable reference on recent developments in structural safety-reliability and probabilistic mechanics. Acidic paper. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
