Preface
The Second International Conference on Performance–based and Life-cycle Structural Engineering (PLSE 2015) was co-organized by the School of Civil Engineering of The University of Queensland (UQ) and the Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development (RISUD) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), and was held on 9-11 December at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre, Brisbane, Australia. The PLSE conference series was initiated by Prof. Jin-Guang Teng of PolyU to provide an international forum for scientific exchanges and international cooperation in the areas of Performance-based Structural Engineering and Life-cycle Structural Engineering as well as their integration. Indeed, Performance-based Life-cycle Structural Engineering, based on the full integration of the two areas, offers an exciting new direction for structural engineering within the context of sustainable urban development.
The inaugural PLSE conference, jointly organized by the Faculty of Construction and Environment and RISUD of PolyU, was held in Hong Kong, China on 5-7 December 2012. The inaugural conference saw almost 300 delegates from around the world. PLSE 2015 continued the success: the conference program comprised about 180 presentations, including 10 Keynote Lectures and 6 Invited Lectures; 5 mini-symposia and 3 special sessions were also organized as part of the conference. The papers were contributed by researchers and practitioners from 33 countries around the world and cover a wide range of topics. The first day of the conference, the Industry Day, provided an exciting platform for academia-industry conversations.
The success of the conference was due to the support and efforts of many individuals and organizations. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to thank all authors for their submissions, all Keynote and Invited Speakers for sharing their excellent work and fruitful discussions during the conference, all mini-symposium and special session organizers for the important roles they played in encouraging experts in their respective research areas to attend the conference, and our industrial participants for taking time to enrich the conference program and share their experience. All accepted articles were selected after an intensive peer-review process. We thank members of the International Advisory Committee, the International Scientific Committee and the Organizing Committee as well as other experts who helped us with paper reviews and in promoting this conference all around the world.
We wish to thank all financial sponsors of this event for their generosity: MTS Systems Corporation, Australian Calibrating Services, WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff, and the Confucius Institute. Without their support, it would not have been possible to organize this conference with the same magnitude and degree of success. We look forward to their continued support for our future events.
We also received support from 6 organizations as non-financial sponsors of the conference. They helped us to promote this conference via multiple channels, thus generating a high level of
vi
international interest. As a result we received papers from many countries around the world. We thank them all for their support and hope they will continue to support us for future events.
Arinex Pty Ltd served as the conference manager for PLSE 2015. They contributed greatly towards making this event a reality. They worked from the beginning with us in ensuring the smooth execution of every step. We thank them for their professional service.
Our thanks also go to the student volunteers, Mr. Ryan Cork , Mr. Leo De Waal, Mr. Yashar Doroudi, Mr. Richard Emberley, Mr. Jack Foote, Mr. Shuan Jiang, Mr. Chuang Miao, Ms. Li Min, Ms. Ya Ou, Ms. Carmen Gorska Putynska, and Mr. Hao Zhou for their tireless efforts throughout the organization of the conference. Thanks are also due to all colleagues at the UQ School of Civil Engineering office, led by Ms. Cindy Van Der Gevel, who offered their help in many ways during the organization of the conference.
