The Proceedings of the 2010 INALCO conference New Frontiers in Light Metals is the eleventh in a series of INALCO conferences, held every three years since 1979. For the first time, the scope of the conference has been extended to include magnesium technology. The presentations emphasize the many challenges facing the light metals industry today as well as the innovative and creative solutions developed by industry and research institutes as they strive to remain competitive in an increasingly global light metals market. The keynote and invited lectures and conference papers, presented during two plenary sessions and twelve parallel sessions, cover the following areas: advanced joining, materials technology, surface, architecture, structural design and transport and automotive. The Proceedings are a timely document of the current state of light metals technology for structural applications. This book includes a CD with a PDF of the proceedings.

This book provides a complete and clear introduction to the use of adhesives to form load-bearing joints in bridges, civil engineering and building structures. Recent advances in adhesive technology have led to a rapid growth in the use of adhesives and in many cases, the use of adhesives can prove more convenient, less expensive, stronger, and more durable than traditional methods of joining. The first part of this book addresses the crucial factors involved in the formation of a successful adhesive joint, including adhesive selection, surface preparation, joint design, fabrication and protection from the environment. The second part of the book describes the growing uses of adhesives to repair and strengthen existing structures, in addition to describing their use in new constructions and applications which are now being developed for the future. The connections between the two parts of the book are brought out wherever possible so that the links between theory and practice are emphasized. The book gives the reader all the information required to fully exploit the economic and technical advantages of adhesives over conventional methods. Professional civil and structural engineers in higher education and industry will find this book invaluable as will graduate students of construction.
