In our world of seemingly unlimited computing, numerous analytical
approaches to the estimation of stress, strain, and displacement,
including analytical, numerical, physical, and analog techniques,
have greatly advanced the practice of engineering. Combining theory
and experimentation, computer simulation has emerged as a third
path for engineering design and performance evaluation. As a
result, structural engineers working in the practical world of
engineering must apply, and ideally, thrive, on these idealizations
of science-based theories. Analyzing the major achievements in the
field, Understanding Structural Engineering demonstrates how to
bring science to engineering design. This book illustrates: * Key
conceptual breakthroughs in structural engineering in the 20th
century * The science of structural engineering from basic
mechanics and computing to the ultimate process of engineering
design * How engineers implement theory to practice through
idealizations and simplifications * Covers current and future
trends in structural engineering Developments and advancements in
structural engineering hinge on a few key breakthroughs in
concepts, simplifications and idealizations. Simplification, the
art of structural engineering, is a key theme throughout this book.
But the authors go further--their clear explanations of the role
and impact of new, science-based developments shows you how to put
them into practice.
