Optimum torsional performance of RC buildings under earthquake loading

Abstract

Following the growing success of International and National Conferences of Computational Mechanics worldwide, the National Associations of Computational Mechanics of the South-East European countries decided to launch an initiative for the organization of South-East European Conferences on Computational Mechanics every three years. The First Conference on this series will be held from June 28 -30, 2006 in Kragujevac, Serbia and Montenegro. The aims of the conferences are to promote achievements in Computational Mechanics in the South-East European region, to encourage research and development among young researchers, to stimulate education in Computational Mechanics at universities and to disseminate modern trends among scientists and engineers in the growing field of Computational Mechanics. The First Conference will be organized by the Yugoslav Society of Mechanics in cooperation with the Greek Association for Computational Mechanics and associations for mechanics of other South-East European counties. The Conference will be held under the auspices of the European Community on Computational Methods of Applied Science (ECCOMAS) and the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM).
