JOURNAL OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND MAINTENANCE 2018, VOL. 3, NO. 4, 209 https://doi.org/10.1080/24705314.2018.1543228 Tasks in structural and construction engineering field often Tampere, Finland, held from 5 to 7 June 2018. The require significant amounts of computation. Computing extended version of selected papers from ICCCBE 2018 methods enable accurate analysis and design of structural and separate manuscripts with the subjects of computing members in a relatively short time period, which is super technologies related to structural, building, and construc- helpful when structural systems or members are getting tion engineering were submitted and peer-reviewed by more varied and complex. Additionally, construction engi- international experts. Thus, a total of 6 papers were neering deals with a wide spectrum of information such as accepted for publication and included in this special materials, equipment, labor, and specifications for the ana- issue. The topics of the included papers cover the analysis lysis of planning, cost estimation, and inspection. Given the of flying debris impact on nuclear power plant or load complexity and wide spectrum of modern projects, innova- bearing of corroded shells and the detection and monitor- tions in computing introduced to the field of structural and ing/management of sudden displacement of tunnels, construction engineering
