Mini-Symposium on Computer-Aided Seismic Design and Assessment of Bridges

The 2013 International Conference on Earthquakes and Structures (ICEAS13) (http://asem.cti3.com/ICEAS.htm) will be held as part of The 2013 World Congress on Advances in Structural Engineering and Mechanics (ASEM13) (http://asem.cti3.com/asem13.htm) on 8-12 September 2013 in the International Convention Center Jeju, Jeju, Korea.

As part of ICEAS13, a Mini-Symposium on "Computer-Aided Seismic Design and Assessment of Bridges" is being organized by Anastasios Sextos (Assistant Professor at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki). 

The Mini-Symposium focuses on new computational methods for the seismic design and assessment of bridge structures primarily, but not exclusively, dealing with selection and scaling of ground motion, abutment-embankment and soil-foundation-superstructure interaction, seismic isolation, inelastic structural response, seismic pounding, structural health monitoring and control.

Authors interested in this Mini-Symposium are requested to submit a 300 words abstract by 31 March 2013. through the link http://www.techno-press.org/conference 

The procedure is to select "Abstract Submission - ASEM13" and, subsequently, the "Computer-Aided Seismic Design and Assessment of Bridges" Mini Symposium. Deadline for submitting the full conference paper after the acceptance of the abstract is 31 May 2013.

It would be preferable to notify the organizer of the Mini-Symposium at (asextos@civil.auth.gr) along with the submission of abstract. 

Thank you in advance for your kind attention and we are looking forward for an interesting session.

Earthquake Engineering Special Session organized with the framework of Fourteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing

An "Earthquake Engineering" Special Session is organized within the framework of Fourteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing, to be held in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy between 3-6 September 2013. It is organized by Anastasios Sextos, Assistant Professor at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

The Special Session focuses on recent advances in Computational Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics. More specifically, it will encourage contributions related to the mitigation of seismic risk, the design and assessment of earthquake resistant buildings and bridges, the assessment of special and monumental structures, system identification and structural health monitoring, performance-based engineering, seismic isolation and control of structures, dynamic soil-structure interaction, strong ground motion selection and scaling as well as seismic wave propagation through the soil media.  Papers related to new software applications, web-based engineering tools, frameworks for hybrid simulation and distributed computing, knowledge-based & expert systems, finite element programs, numerical analysis pre- and post- processing front-ends, data and metadata dissemination and management systems, high performance, parallel and cloud computing schemes, applications for mobile devices and tablets as well as GIS-based visualization tools are also welcome.

It is envisioned that the Special Session will constitute an interesting forum for scientists using state-of-the-art computational methods and tools for Earthquake Engineering purposes.

Please note that the call for papers closes on the 5th December 2012 and abstracts may be submitted via the conference website: http://www.civil-comp.com/conf/

To encourage young researchers to attend the conference a 1000 Euro Young Researcher Best Paper Prize will be awarded to the best paper presented at each of the conferences. (For further details please see the conference website).
