Mechanics and Architectural Design

Proceedings of 2016 International Conference

The 2016 International Conference on Mechanics and Architectural Design (MAD2016) were held in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China, 14 – 15 May 2016. The main objective of this conference is to provide a platform for researchers, academics and industrial professionals to present their research findings in the fields of Architecture, Mechanical and Civil Engineering.

This proceedings consists of 90 articles selected after peer-review. It consists of 6 articles in Mechanics, and 84 articles covering research and development in Civil Engineering; addressing issues in building architecture and structure. Most of these projects were funded by the Chinese research agencies.
