Dr. W.M. Quach received the
appreciation, as Session Chair, from Prof. Y.K. Cheung (Honorary Professor,
University of Hong Kong) who is the founder of the finite strip method (one
of the most popular methods used in the design and analysis of cold-formed
steel members). |

is important for practicing engineers to keep abreast with some of the advances
and developments in steel and composite structures which have taken place since
then. The construction industry is currently bursting with activities and the
high demand for infrastructural developments will certainly continue over the
next few years. Steel and composite constructions are ideally suitable for
high-rise buildings, long-span bridges and roof structures due to its speed and
ease of construction, inherent ductility, and structural efficiency with large
strength-to-weight ratios as well as large flexural rigidities against
instability and serviceability problems. This 2nd international symposium (2nd
ISASCS 2008) has provided a technical forum for the dissemination of recent
advances in steel and composite construction technology.
