Structural control offers opportunities to design new structures and to retrofit existing structures by the application of counter-forces, smart materials, frictional devices, etc., instead of just increasing the strength of the structure at greater cost.The Association for the Control of Structures (ACS) is promoting in Europe the development of this new technology in architectural design and infrastructure renewal and rehabilitation. The First European Conference on Structural Control was organized as one of the major initiatives toward this objective.

Shape memory alloy implants or "smart biomaterial" have already been used in humans for 20 years in selected countries. Restrictions in the use of biomaterials in living organisms being reduced throughout the world now the use of SMA implants continue to expand in the fields of vascular and orthopaedic surgery, minimally invasive surgery and drug delivery systems. This book is to provide a state of the art of SMA implants and devices. For the first time long-term clinical experiences and techniques of SMA biocompatibility are presented.

This is an open access book. With the progress of social civilization, social science and its research are becoming more and more important. Theoretically and practically, the study of social phenomena and social problems and the development of prosperous social sciences are the eternal themes of human beings. At present, social science research and its results can hardly meet the needs of social development, especially the unscientific evaluation of social science results, which has aroused great concern from all walks of life, and has produced dirt and questions on social science, thus affecting the proper development of social science. Max Weber once said that "the most important function of social science in modern times is to keep people "clear-headed" and to resist the delusions of "prophetic legislators". " Humanities and arts are the process of perceiving, realizing, thinking, manipulating, and expressing objective or subjective objects through capturing and excavating, feeling and analyzing, integrating and applying, or displaying the stage results in the form obtained through feeling (seeing, hearing, smelling, touching). The social sciences and humanities and arts contain content that will directly affect our lives and the way society functions. And by reacting to today's increasingly intricate problems and situations through systematic and professional discussions, they will further contribute to the improvement of institutions and the development of society. By thinking about issues and looking at problems and the world from different perspectives by putting the two together, it may be possible to have more comprehensive, appropriate, and better responses; for example, the development of laws requires a deeper understanding of the environment in which they are implemented; international trade requires a certain understanding of the customs of different countries; and the development of tax and economic policies requires a certain understanding of the population, consumer demand, etc.

Sustainable Materials in Civil Infrastructure covers the latest breakthroughs in innovative eco-materials and poses solutions for resilient and sustainable infrastructure. The book provides valuable insights into innovative research studies on eco-materials used for construction applications, which will provide researchers with a useful reference guide on recycled steel, low-carbon concrete, bio-concrete, self-healing concrete, and industrial by-products such as fly ash, natural geosynthetic fibres, and shape memory alloys for infrastructure development. The chapters cover design applications of bio-concrete, and usage of eco-materials in landfill liners and masonry. The book clearly identifies the issues that remain as obstacles for the large-scale use of green concrete, and bio-concrete and provides practical solutions to overcome them. The chapters create a knowledge base for the development of sustainable design methodologies that are widely accepted among various environmental monitoring/controlling bodies throughout the world. - Cutting-edge design methodologies incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence - Coverage of biogeotechnics, landfill, and waste-to-energy techniques - Focus on emerging trends in eco-efficient concrete solutions
