内容简介:
The materials considered are reinforced and prestressed concrete, structural steelwork and structural timber (all of which have been the subject of recent major revisions to BSI design codes) plus load-bearing brickwork and blockwork.
The text presents the design stages in a logical sequence, setting out expressions and explaining their use without interposing theory with practice. Assumptions and limitations of applications are clearly explained in each case.
One of few titles to deal with structural design for all the main materials. Illustrations are clear and visually telling. The first edition replaced a well-known, long-established very successful textbook, Morgan's Students Structural Handbook.
