Impact Loading of Lightweight Structures

Starting from the traditional design process this book introduces a 3-dimensional geometric design process of urban and rural road design. It will prove to be a valuable textbook for undergraduate and graduate university students as well as road planning and design practitioners.
This book features contributions from the International Conference on Impact Loading of Lightweight Structures. The topics covered are all relevant to the behaviour of Lightweight Structures subjected to various dynamic loads. Many leading researchers, from all over the world, contributed to this conference with articles on material characterisation, structural failure and crashworthiness, energy absorbing systems, experimental techniques, theoretical models and numerical analysis, each providing information on the design of modern, lightweight structures and contributing to a safer world.
