Description

Many important advances in designing modern structures have occurred over the last several years.

Structural engineers need an authoritative source of information that thoroughly and concisely covers the foundational principles of the field.

Comprising chapters selected from the second edition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, Principles of Structural Design provides a tightly focused, concise, and valuable guide to the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of structural design. This book systematically explores the fundamental concepts underlying structural design for each major type of structural material.

Expert contributors authoritatively discuss steel structures, steel frame design using advanced analysis, cold-formed steel structures, reinforced concrete structures, prestressed concrete, and masonry, timber, and aluminum structures.

For each construction material, the chapter explores the material properties, design considerations, and structural principles affecting overall design.

Reflecting recent advances, the book includes two chapters devoted to reliability-based structural design and structure configuration based on wind engineering.

Computational methods and simulation techniques illustrate the concepts of reliability-based design, while examples of real bridges highlight the application of wind engineering principles and methods. Principles of Structural Design couples fundamental concepts with advanced practices.

It is an ideal introduction for newcomers to the field as well as a perfect review and quick-reference guide for seasoned engineers.
