Synopsis

Many structural analysis textbooks place too much emphasis on numerical ability at the expense of a real understanding of structural behaviour. This understanding is essential if students are to progress from theoretical analytic models to the real world of structural design. This textbook, now expanded with a new chapter on computer assisted learning, is unique in stressing the need for a sound understanding of the physical behaviour of structures with a qualitative appreciation of the effects of loads. The book is highly illustrated with the text matched exactly with coherent diagramatic explanation.
