Proceedings of the 2013 Asia-Pacific Conference on FRP in structures (APFIS 2013)

Edited proceedings of the 2013 Asia-Pacific Conference on FRP in Structures (APFIS 2013), held in Melbourne from 11-13 December 2013 and hosted by Swinburne University of Technology. The aim of APFIS conference series is to provide a forum for young and experienced academics, practitioners, researchers, and research students in the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere in the world, to share the latest developments in research and application of FRP in civil infrastructure. APFIS 2013 will continue to promote the themes related to basic research and application of FRP in civil and architectural engineering structures in the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere in the world. APFIS 2013 will, however, promote a new overarching theme of sustainability. Sustainability issues will be emphasized via special sessions and keynote addresses.
