This guide is a reprint of 10 chapters from Handbook of Structural Engineering, for students and engineers desiring a smaller format. Chen (engineering, U. of Hawaii at Manoa) and Lui (civil and environmental engineering, Syracuse U.) compile essays explaining design for structures made of steel, reinforced and prestressed concrete, masonry, timber, and aluminum. Each chapter focuses on materials, properties, structural elements, and design principles. Two of the chapters explore reliability-based structural design and configuration based on wind engineering. Contributors are engineers from the US and Asia. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR More Reviews and Recommendations Tags: principles structural design |
