This third edition of a popular textbook is a concise single-volume introduction to the design of structural elements in concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and composites. It provides design principles and guidance in line with both British Standards and Eurocodes, current as of late 2007. Topics discussed include the philosophy of design, basic structural concepts, and material properties. After an introduction and overview of structural design, the book is conveniently divided into sections based on British Standards and Eurocodes.
This comprehensive textbook combines classical and matrix-based methods of structural analysis and develops them concurrently. The book reviews idealization of loads, anticipated deformations, deflected shapes, and bending moment diagrams. It also demonstrates how to idealize real three-dimensional structures into simplified models that can be analyzed with little or no calculation, or by more involved calculations using computers. Dynamic analysis, essential for structures subject to seismic ground motion, is further developed in this edition and in a code-neutral manner, and the book includes a new chapter on structural reliability analysis. • Presents material that is largely independent of codes of practice, and so international in use • Includes extensive problems, solutions, and worked examples • Provides computer programs on an accompanying website

Understanding Structures An Introduction to Structural Analysis Mete A. Sozen Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA

An exploration of essential design and construction details of safe structures, this textbook explains how buildings and bridges resist gravity, wind, and earthquake loads. It spans elementary concepts, from force in trusses to bending of beams and the response of multi-story, multi-bay frames. Because simulation is critical to the design and construction of safe structures, this book features free access to GOYA software, which runs easily on JAVA-enabled systems. Developed by the authors to improve understanding of structures through repetition, GOYA enables readers to solve problems of increasing complexity with relative ease. July 2008, 368 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-6861-0, £69.99
