Conference Papers

First launched in 2013, the Steel Innovations Conference provides a forum for structural engineers, steel industry representatives, academics and students to share the latest knowledge in the design and construction of steel structures.

Here you can access papers presented at Steel Innovations in 2013 and 2015 which cover a number of key topics including seismic engineering, composite steel construction, fire engineering, durability, sustainability, cost-effective design and stability.
