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 twentieth 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 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,
inherent in 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.
