This will be the 5th in the international symposium series on steel structures organized by the Korean Society of Steel Construction. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th symposia were successfully held in Seoul, Korea in 2000, 2002, 2005 and 2006, respectively. This series of symposium is organized in cooperation with the International Journal of Steel Structures(IJOSS). The symposium will provide an international forum for a broad range of technical papers in steel structural research and itsapplications. ISSS ¡¯09 will bring together academicians and practicing engineers to exchange new ideas, technological developments, and experiences in Steel Structures.
The symposium will focus on the ¡°Innovative Technologies in Steel Structures¡±.
Topics may include (but not limited to):

- Bridge Engineering - Light Gauge Structures
- Building Frame Analysis - Maintenance
- Construction Practice & Management - Nonlinear behavior
- Composite/Hybrid Structures - Offshore Structures
- Computer-aided design - Optimization
- Connections - Reliability
- Corrosion - Smart Structures
- Damage Assessment - Stability
- Design Codes - Stainless Steel
- Dynamics - Sustainability
- Earthquake/Wind Engineering - Unbonded Brace System
- Fatigue/Fracture Mechanics - Welding
- Fire-Resistant Structures - Passive Vibration Control System
- Floor Vibrations  
Authors are invited to submit abstracts of one page in the topics shown above together withPreliminary Registration Form to the Symposium Secretariat as soon as possible, but not later thanthe deadline shown below. Abstracts should indicate clearly the aims and conclusions of the worksincluded in the final papers. Name, address, telephone number, and e-mail should appear onabstracts. Both abstracts and final papers will be reviewed.
