Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book is a comprehensive introduction to the principles of structural analysis and structural design. Emphasizing fundamental concepts, the author reinforces ideas through a combination of limited versatile classical techniques and numerical methods. The discussion of structural analysis and structural design including optimum design are strongly linked through an abundance of analysis and design examples. The addition of computer software enhances the understanding of the engineering principles as well as the learning of the use of computer-based tools.

Aus dem Klappentext

All the tools you need to master Structural Analysis and DesignClear explanations of basic concepts, a healthy balance between classical and modern numerical methods, modeling of structural systems, computer programs and tools—these are the keys to a mastering Structural Analysis and Design. Now they are all at your fingertips in this text.

With a constant focus on the fundamentals, Introduction to Structural Analysis & Design takes you step-by-step through the entire design process--from turning a client's requirement into a mathematical model of the structural systems, to analyzing and evaluating the performance of the proposed structure, to the process of redesign.

Throughout, the text concentrates on a limited set of highly versatile and powerful classical techniques and numerical methods, so you can master what's currently being used in the field today. Numerous examples establish a strong link between structural analysis and design, including optimal design.
