This book comprises the select peer-reviewed proceedings of the Indian Structural Steel Conference (ISSC 2020). The topics cover state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in structural engineering, and latest research in structural modeling and design. Novel analytical, computational and experimental techniques, proposal of new structural systems, innovative methods for maintenance, rehabilitation, and monitoring of existing structures, and investigation of the properties of engineering materials as related to structural behavior are presented in the book. This book will be very useful for structural engineers, researchers, and consultants interested in sustainable materials and steel construction.

Covers latest studies in structural engineering and steel construction Includes innovative and cost-effective maintenance and monitoring methods Presents selected contributions from the Indian Structural Steel Conference
