Plastic Design of Frames.
Heyman, Jacques,
Plastic Design of Frames. 2, Applications / Jaques Heyman. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2008. - 1 online resource (viii, 291 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). First volume authored by John Baker.
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 the structural engineer valuable insight into the basis of the subject. This companion book Plastic Design of Frames; Volume 2. Applications provides additional advanced topics and case studies. This lucid second volume provides a valuable read for structural engineers and others who wish to deepen their knowledge of the structural analysis and design of buildings.
