Addressing structures, this book presents a classic discipline in a
modern setting by combining illustrated examples with insights into
the solutions. It is the fruit of the author's many years of
teaching the subject and of just as many years of research into the
design of optimal structures. Although intended for an advanced
level of instruction it has an undergraduate course at its core.
Further, the book was written with the advantage of having massive
computer power in the background, an aspect which changes the
entire approach to many engineering disciplines and in particular
to structures. This paradigm shift has dislodged the force
(flexibility) method from its former prominence and paved the way
for the displacement (stiffness) method, despite the multitude of
linear equations it spawns. In this book, however, both methods are
taught: the force method offers a perfect vehicle for understanding
structural behavior, bearing in mind that it is the displacement
method which does the heavy number crunching. As a rule the book
keeps things as simple as possible, conveying the basic ideas and
refraining from lengthy calculations wherever possible. Further, it
endeavors to unify the approach, showing that whatever applies to
simple springs is equally valid for intricate frames. In addition
to various design considerations, it also addresses several topics
relating to optimal structures that will be of interest to students
and teachers of structures.
