Beschreibung
Bridges the gap between academic work and professional practice, carrying analysis and design beyond that applied to individual members and components and into total structural frames. Contains software for assessing forces on plane frames and plane frame trusses. Illustrated throughout and includes numerous tables from industry references. Appendices feature supplementary diagrams, matrix algebra and steel joist load tables.

Synopsis
This volume presents the general principles of structural analysis and their application to the design of low and intermediate height building frames. The text is accompanied by software for the analysis of axial forces, displacement and the bending moment and the determination of shear
