Is halogen content the most important factor in the removal of halogenated trace organics by MBR treatment?

Incorporating Sustainable Practice in Mechanics of Structures and Materials covers a wide range of topics, from composite structures, via fire engineering and masonry structures, to timber engineering. Valuable reference for academics, researchers and practicing engineers working in structural engineering and structural mechanics. Summary Incorporating Sustainable Practice in Mechanics of Structures and Materials is a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the 21st Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM21, Victoria, University, Melbourne, Australia, 7th – 10th of December 2010). The contributions from academics, researchers and practicing engineers from 17 countries, mainly from Australasia and the Asia-pacific region, cover a wide range of topics, including: • Composite structures • Computational mechanics • Concrete structures • Dynamic analysis of structures • Earthquake and wind engineering • Fibre composites • Fire engineering • Geomechanics and foundation engineering • Masonry structures • Mechanics of materials • Shock and impact loading • Steel and aluminum structures • Structural health monitoring • Structural optimisation • Sustainable materials • Timber engineering
