Guest Editorial The First International Conference on Structural Engineering organised jointly b y Tsinghua University and Yunnan Polytechnic University was held on 18-20 October 1999 in K unmin, C hina, at which over 100 papers were presented. The idea of publishing a small se lection of the presented papers in a special issue in A dvances in Structural Engineering was discussed at the Conference between myself and the Editor-in-Chief Professor J.M.
