Introduction
The 14th International Symposium on Structural Engineering (ISSE-14) will be held in Beijing, China. The ISSE-14, scheduled on Oct. 12-15, 2016, is sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). It will be organized by Beijing Jiaotong University, and is co-organized by Beijing University of Technology.
The Symposium was derived from the International Symposium on Structural Engineering for Young Experts (ISSEYE) which was held in Leshan, China since 1990. It has been held biannually in China since in Harbin (1992), Shanghai (1994), Beijing (1996), Shenyang (1998), Kunming (2000), Tianjin (2002), Xi’an (2004), Fuzhou (2006), and Changsha (2008).
When it was held in Guangzhou in 2010, the title of the symposium was updated to “The International Symposium on Structural Engineering (ISSE)”, and it was also held in Wuhan (2012) and Hefei (2014) with this title.
Till now, it has been successfully held for 13 times. With more than 20 years’ of development, ISSE has become attractive to many young and middle-aged elite Chinese scholars all over the world with its distinct characteristic and features. The objective of ISSE-14 is again to provide a forum for experts from the research and engineering communities, who work worldwide in the broad areas of structural engineering and construction, to present recent progress in research and development; to exchange information on the topics of structural analysis, design, construction, maintenance and hazard mitigation; and to discuss the implementation and development of new tools and technologies for professional application leading to safe and sustainable infrastructure. ISSE also aims to promote close international collaboration, cooperation, and mutual understanding.
