05 - 07 September 2011, Timisoara, Romania

The highly successful "International Conference on Thin-walled Structures" conference series is seen and regarded today by those in the global thin-walled structures community as a major forum for the dissemination of knowledge and the mutual exchange of ideas in all areas of research, development, design and innovation pertaining to thin-walled structures. This conference is the sixth in the series, with the first five being held in Glasgow in 1996, Singapore in 1998, Krakow in 2001, Loughborough in 2004 and Brisbane in 2008. The aim of this conference is to continue the successful conference series and provide a platform for the experts from global thin-walled structures community including academics, researchers, engineers, designers and manufacturers to participate at this international gathering, present and discuss the recent work in the field of thin-walled structures.

Starting with 1982, the Department of Steel Structures and Structural Mechanics has been organizing in Timisoara, one of the Sessions of the SSRC International Colloquium on Stability of Steel Structures. In 1992 stated a series of internationally recognised scientific events in the field of steel constructions, among them: CIMS conferences dedicated to Coupled Instability in Steel Structures, and in 1994 the series of STESSA conferences dedicated to Steel Structures in Seismic Areas. Moreover, in 1999 the Department organized the SDSS conference, within the SSRC series dedicated to the Stability and Ductility of Steel Structures. In 2006 the Department organized the ICMS2006 conference (Steel a new and traditional material for building - ICMS2006 conference), conference which covers a large spectrum of topics characterizing the present and future development of constructional steelwork industry. That conference was connected to the 2006 ECCS Annual Meeting.

The ICTWS 2011 conference is organised in conjunction with the EUROSTEEL 2011 conference to be held in Budapest, Hungary from 31.08-03.09.2011 (www.eurosteel2011.com). A reduced 10% fee will be applied for the participants who will attend both conferences.
