The Second International Workshop on Performance, Protection, and Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading  (PROTECT2009)

PROTECT2009 will build on the success of the first workshop in Whistler, Canada in 2007. The purpose of PROTECT2009 is to bring experts from diverse backgrounds to exchange ideas on performance, protection and strengthening of structures under extreme loading events and to create a multi-disciplinary forum aimed at enhancing our understanding of the underlying complex issues and challenges. The Organizers hope that PROTECT2009 will serve as a catalyst in initiating a meaningful dialogue between the various stakeholders, and will result in the development of innovative solutions based on a cross-fertilization of ideas.
