Features

  • Fundamentals - including basic theory, structural analysis using both classical and numerical methods, design of concrete and metal structures, composite construction, and earthquake engineering
  • Special Structures - including cold-formed steel, aluminum, and timber structures; bridge, building, and shell structures; and off-shore, tower, and space structures
  • Special Topics - including shock and seismic loading, underground pipes, connections, active and passive control, fatigue and fracture, and computer-aided analysis and design

    • Summary

    Covering the broad spectrum of modern structural engineering topics, the Handbook of Structural Engineering is a complete, single-volume reference. It includes the theoretical, practical, and computing aspects of the field, providing practicing engineers, consultants, students, and other interested individuals with a reliable, easy-to-use source of information. Divided into three sections, the handbook covers:
