Background and Objective
ICOSSAR2009 aims to bring together scientists, educators, researchers and practitioners for a better understanding and management of safety and reliability of structures and civil engineering systems, with special focus on advanced technologies, analytical and computational methods of risk analysis, probability based design and regulations, smart systems and materials, life cycle cost analysis, damage assessment, social aspects, urban planning, and commercial applications. Held every four years in different countries, ICOSSAR is the premier international forum for the exchange of information and discussion on recent developments in structural safety/reliability and stochastic mechanics, and innovative applications. ICOSSAR2009 will follow this long tradition. Previous ICOSSARs have been held in Washington, D.C., USA (1969), Munich, Germany (1977), Trondheim, Norway (1981), Kobe, Japan (1985), San Francisco, USA (1989), Innsbruck, Austria (1993), Kyoto, Japan (1997), Newport Beach, USA (2001) and Rome, Italy (2005).
Scope
ICOSSAR2009 will encompass every aspect of safety and reliability of structures and civil engineering systems, with special focus on advanced technologies, analytical and computational methods of risk analysis, probability based design and regulations, smart systems and materials, life cycle cost analysis, damage assessment, social aspects, urban planning, and commercial applications. Emerging concepts as well as state of the art and novel applications of reliability principles in all types of structural systems and mechanical components will be included. Systems for civil, marine, mechanical, transportation, and aerospace applications will be discussed. Specific topics of interest include:
