The simulation-based engineering for structure resilience to disastrous events has gained significant attention during recent years, which necessitates the developments of new and robust numerical methods in order for accurate computer modelling and simulation. This minisymposium aims to provide a platform for academic researchers and industrial engineers in related fields to exchange the latest progress on the developments and applications of advanced computational methods for structural and disaster modelling. Presentations are solicited in all subjects related to the simulation-based engineering for structure resilience to disastrous events, which include but are not limited to the followings: Development and improvement of advanced numerical methods, such as meshfree methods, particle methods, enriched and extended finite element methods, isogeometric methods, discrete element methods, peridynamics, etc Modelling of structural response under extreme loading conditions Simulation-based disaster prediction and mitigation Multi-scale methods and multi-scale modelling procedures Large-scale and and parallel computation Coupled Lagrangian-Eulerian methods for extremely large deformation simulation Fluid-structure interaction modelling Verification, validation, and software development Numerical algorithm implementation and simulation software development Other related subjects
