This book covers the papers presented in the annual Metnet Seminar in October 2013 held at Luleå University of Technology. The seminar continued the METNET tradition of presenting scientific and development papers of high calibre.

METNET seminars deal with technical aspects of metal construction as well as issues of concern to industry on management, planning and sustainability of projects.

Metnet cooperation promotes regional innovation environments and strengthens knowledge structures, especially in the European regions represented by its members. At the annual seminars, the participating partner organization represents its regional innovation environment but simultaneously is a partner of a larger and stronger international innovation world created by active cooperation between the institutes and enterprises.
