Fundamentals
Framed Structures
Plates and Shells

Short Description
This book is a comprehensive manual for analysing framed structures as well as plates and shells using elastic and plastic theory. It forms a work of reference for a multitude of problems encountered in everyday structural engineering.

It should be regarded as a key work of reference for students, teaching staff and practising engineers. Its purpose is to show readers how to model and handle structures appropriately, to support them in designing and checking the structures within their sphere of responsibility.
