A good grasp of the theory of structures - the theoretical basis by
which the strength, stiffness and stability of a building can be
understood - is fundamental to structural engineers and architects.
Yet most modern structural analysis and design is carried out by
computer, with the user isolated from the processes in action. This
book provides a broad introduction to the mathematics behind a
range of structural processes. The basic structural equations have
been known for at least 150 years, but modern plastic theory has
opened up a fundamentally new way of advancing structural theory.
Paradoxically, the powerful plastic theorems can be used to examine
'classic' elastic design activity, and strong mathematical
relationships exist between these two approaches. Some of the
techniques used in this book may be familiar to the reader, and
some may not, but each of the topics examined will give the
structural engineer valuable insight into the basis of the subject.
This lucid volume provides a valuable read for structural engineers
and others who wish to deepen their knowledge of the structural
analysis and design of buildings.
