Partial contents:
1 Introductory concepts -- 2 The use of equilibrium in finding the state of stress and deformation (statically determinate -- 3 The handling of deformations for determining the stress state in framed structures (statically indeterminate structures) -- 4 Simply supported beams -- 5 Continuous beams -- 6 Frames -- 7 The influence of deformations on the state of stress - elastic stability -- 8 Arches -- 9 Cable structures -- 10 Grids -- 11 Plates -- 12 Shells -- 13 Thin-walled beams -- 14 Box girders -- 15 Lateral response of multi-storey systems -- 16 Dynamic behaviour of discrete mass systems -- 17 Supporting the structure on the ground
Summary: Promoting and underlining the importance of structural thinking, Structural Systems: Behaviour and Design will provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the behaviour of a wide range of structural systems based on the load-carrying mechanisms involved. Bringing together a wide array of structural types and covering the behaviour and design of both steel and reinforced concrete (prestressing inclusive), the author employs an integrated qualitative and quantitative approach to the examination of each structural element. Topics are introduced in a logical manner, building on concepts discussed and explained in previous chapters, providing readers with a sound understanding of the universal principles of structural behaviour and enabling them to apply safe conceptual and preliminary designs, whatever design codes they are working with.
