This volume provides a concise, historical review of the methods of
structural analysis and design - from Galileo in the seventeenth
century, to the present day. Through it, students in structural
engineering and professional engineers will gain a deeper
understanding of the theory behind the modern software packages
they use daily in structural design. This book also offers the
reader a lucid examination of the process of structural analysis
and how it relates to modern design. The first three chapters cover
questions about the strength of materials, and how to calculate
local effects. An account is then given of the development of the
equations of elastic flexure and buckling, followed by a separate
chapter on masonry arches. Three chapters on the overall behaviour
of elastic structures lead to a discussion of plastic behaviour,
and a final chapter indicates that there are still problems needing
solution.
