Proceedings of the International Conference, held in Boston, Massachusetts, June 8–11, 1997. Sponsored by the Pipeline Division of ASCE. This collection contains 59 papers on trenchless pipeline technologies that provide an opportunity to learn from the on-site experiences of leading experts in the field. Papers describe recent and current projects, the challenges that had to be overcome, and the solutions used. The technologies and methodologies in use today are presented, as well as those that will be emerging in the years ahead. Topics include: case histories; microtunnelling; sliplining; pipe jacking; pipe rehabilitation; service laterals; manholes; inspection/evaluation methods; grouting/joint seals; gas pipelines; materials research; new construction; and the future of trenchless technology. This proceedings will be of interest to researchers and practitioners working in all aspects of trenchless pipeline technology.

Shape memory alloys (SMAs), in comparison with other materials, have the exceptional ability to change their properties, structure, and functionality depending on the thermal, magnetic, and/or stress fields applied. As is well known, in recent decades, the development of SMAs has allowed innovative solutions and alternatives in biomedical applications and advanced engineering structures for aerospace and automotive industries as well as in sensor and actuation systems, among other sectors. Irrespective of this, designing and engineering using these special smart materials requires a solid background in materials science in order to consolidate their importance in these fields and to broaden their relevance for other new applications. The goal of this Special Issue is to foster the dissemination of some of the latest research devoted to these special materials from different perspectives.
