copies of selected papers from the 1994 Symposium and in September will contain
the Proceedings of the 2001 Symposium. Press "2001 Symposium" to see the papers.
Also coming will be links to active sites where structural response can be observed.
The above link is for the papers of the 2001 Symposium, however if you search
the
site you may find more references. Special thanks to Professor C. Dowding for his
contribution.  

Papers in Autonomous Crack Monitoring.  This site contains copies of selected papers
on this new approach to control and monitoring of construction vibrations as well as
access to operational sites where readers can observe actual day to day response of
cracks. We are thankful to Professor C. Dowding for this contribution.

Professor P.W. Mayne maintains a very interesting collection of downloadable papers
