Description: Many important advances in designing high-performance 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, this book provides a tightly focused, economical guide to the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of structural design. Expert contributors discuss a wide variety of structures, including steel, aluminum, timber, and prestressed concrete, as well as reliability-based design and structures based on wind engineering.
