Fundamentals
of Structural Engineering provides a balanced, seamless treatment of both
classic, analytic methods and contemporary, computer-based techniques for
conceptualizing and designing a structure. The book’s principle goal is to
foster an intuitive understanding of structural behavior based on problem
solving experience for students of civil engineering and architecture who have
been exposed to the basic
concepts of engineering mechanics and mechanics of materials.
Making it distinct from many other undergraduate textbooks, the authors of this text recognize the notion that engineers reason about behavior using simple models and intuition they acquire through problem solving. The approach adopted in this text develops this type of intuition by presenting extensive, realistic problems and case studies together with computer simulation, which allows rapid exploration of how a structure responds to changes in geometry and physical parameters.
