A good grasp of the theory of structures - the theoretical basis by which the strength, stiffness and stability of a building can be understood - is fundamental to structural engineers and architects. Yet most modern structural analysis and design is carried out by computer, with the user isolated from the processes in action. Plastic Design of Frames; Volume 1. Fundamentals provides a broad introduction to the mathematics behind a range of structural processes. Some of the techniques used in this book may be familiar to the reader, and some may not, but each of the topics examined will give ... Read more

Reviews for Plastic Design of Frames: Volume 2, Applications
'This well produced book can be warmly recommended.' Civil Engineering 'There is no doubt that this book will come to be regarded as one of the best, if not the best, basic teaching book on plastic design and analysis of frames.' Aeronautical Journal
