After a review of the growth of computational structural mechanics,a survey is made for the following seven important computational mechanicsproblems in structural engineering science: (1) Basic theoretical problems ofnumerical methods (inclilding error estimation theory and adaptive mesh refine-ment strategy,multi-variable finite element theory and semi-analytical numericalmethod). (2) Optimum design of engineering structures. (3) Structural construc-tion mechanics. (4) Numerical modelling and simulation b...
