>CALL FOR PAPERS > >Third International Conference > >MARAS 2000 > >Mobile and Rapidly Assembled Structures > >21 - 23 June 2000 > >Madrid, Spain > > >Organized by >Wessex Institute of Technology, Southampton, UK > >Sponsored by >School of Architecture, University of Seville, Spain >and >Politechnic University of Madrid, Spain > > >OBJECTIVES >Structures that move in the course of normal use, or which have to be >assembled at high speed on a relatively unprepared site, offer a >particular challenge to the designer. The interaction between the >structure and the mechanism by which it moves is important for mobile >frameworks such as radio telescopes or jet engine rotors. The speed >of assembly, and what this means in terms of logistics, materials and >cost, is a major factor in many structures. > >There are common problems such as the efficient design of assembly >joints, the resistance to damage of membrane and metal sheets, >crashworthiness and the limits of serviceability. Some areas of the >subject are already well organized, such as the structural design of >aircraft, ships, cars, and railway rolling stock. However, there >remains a whole range of structures where there is very little design >guidance available in the form of textbooks, data sheets or codes of >practice. > >The interaction of ideas and experience during the Conference may lead >to new mobile structural forms and an increased awareness of the >problems of rapid assembly and mobility of structures. > >This multi-disciplinary meeting will bring together engineers, >architects and researchers concerned with the design, analyses, >manufacture and erection of rapidly assembled structures. This >Meeting follows the success of the previous Conferences in this >series held in Southampton, UK in 1991 and, Seville, Spain in 1996 the >proceedings of both these previous Conferences are now widely >distributed throughout the world. > >TOPIC CATEGORIES >- Rapidly erected bridges and transportable bridges >- Mobile inspection platforms >- Containers, road vehicles bodies, rail transport carriages >- Radio telescopes and radar dishes >- Telescopic and folding masts >- Tower cranes and mobile lifting apparatus >- Telescopic gangways >- Leisure structures, demountable grandstands and scaffolding > systems >- Inflated buildings, inflated boats, tenents and membrane shelters >- Trackways and prefabricated paving for roads and airfields >- Structures subject to high speed rotation >- Protective structures >- Temporary structures >- Structures in adverse conditions >- Rapid repairs of structures >- Rapid assembly of self designing structures >- Spacecraft structures > >ORGANISING COMMITTEE >Prof F Escrig, School of Architecture, University of Seville, Spain >Prof A Samartin, Politechnic University de Madrid, Spain >Prof C A Brebbia, Wessex Institute of Technology, UK > >INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE >Dr E S Ayllon, CITEFA, Argentina >Prof H Azegami, Toyohashi Univ. of Technology, Japan >Prof A F M Azevedo, University of Porto.

Abstracts should be submitted by >mail, fax or Email as soon as possible and no later than 2 November >1999. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should clearly state the >purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in the >final paper. The final acceptance will be based on the full length >paper. The author must attend the conference to present the paper if >accepted. Each submitted paper is subject to a separate >registration. Please tick the box most relevant to your paper. > >LOCATION >Madrid as the capital of Spain has a great deal to offer. With its >diverse mixture of cultural history in a vibrant modern city, Madrid >is full of life and character. This contrast in classic and >contemporary culture can be witnessed in the juxtaposition of the >city's 'magic triangle', consisting of some of Europe's finest art >galleries, the 'Museo del Prado', Centro de Arte Reina Sofia and the >Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza. Leaving aside the art museums, the >splendour of the Plaza Mayor and Palacio Real, and the elegance of the >Parque del Buen Retiro, the essence of Madrid is in the lively street >atmosphere. > >CONFERENCE VENUE >The conference will be held at the Melia Madrid, which is located in >the heart of Madrid's regal area. The hotel is just a short distance >from the "Plaza de Espana", the Royal Palace and the exceptional >"Jardines del Moro". This is a superior first-class hotel fully >modernized. Specially negotiated rates will be offered to delegates >attending the conference. > >TRAVEL >International and domestic flights arrive at Madrid's Barajas >airport. Central Madrid can be reached easily and efficiently by bus >or taxi. For travel to Madrid contact your local travel agent. > >CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS >The Proceedings of the Conference will be published in book form by >WIT Press and will be available to the delegates at the time of >registration. In addition, the Proceedings will be widely distributed >internationally, immediately after the Conference. The language of >the Conference will be English. > > >Further information is available on our website, >http://www.wessex.ac.uk/conferences/2000/maras2000 > ----<*>-----<*>-----<*>--.N.O.T.I.A.M.C.A.--<*>-----<*>-----<*>-----<*> Los mensajes son archivados en: http://venus.arcride.edu.ar/majordomo-span.html ----<*>-----<*>-----<*>-----<*>-----<*>-----<*>-----<*>-----<*>-----<*>
