Preface

Following the great progress made in computing technology, both in computer and programming technology, computation has become one of the most powerful tools for researchers and practicing engineers. It has led to tremendous achievements in computer-based structural engineering and there is evidence that current develop-ments will even accelerate in the near future. To acknowledge this trend, Tongji University, Vienna University of Technology, and Chinese Academy of Engineer-ing, co-organized the International Symposium on Computational Structural Engi-neering 2009 in Shanghai (CSE’09).

CSE’09 aimed at providing a forum for presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art development in scientific computing applied to engineering sciences. Emphasis was given to basic methodologies, scientific development and engineer-ing applications. Therefore, it became a central academic activity of the Interna-tional Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM), the European Commu-nity on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS), The Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanic, the China Civil Engineering Soci-ety, and the Architectural Society of China.

sented in the proceedings of the symposium. Contributors of papers came from 20 countries around the world and covered a wide spectrum related to the computa-tional structural engineering.

As Chair of the Organizing Committee of CSE’09, I would like to thank all the participants and the authors for their contributions. We would also like to gratefully acknowledge the guidance and cooperation provided by the Interna-tional Advisory Committee and the Scientific Committee as well as the support provided by the members of the Local Organizing Committee. In particular, we appreciate the financial support provided by the National Natural Science Founda-tion of China, the Eurasia-Pacific Uninet, and the Ministry of Science and Tech-nology of the People’s Republic of China.
