Proceedings of the XXX Congress CTA 2026

This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of design and performance of steel structures, as presented by leading researchers and engineers at the XXX Congress of the Italian College of Steel Technicians (CTA), held in Rome, Italy, on October 1-3, 2026. It covers a diverse range of topics such as behaviour of structural members and connections, performance of structural systems, mixed and composite structures, energy dissipation systems, self-centring and low-damage systems, assessment and retrofitting, codes and standards, light-gauge systems. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.
