Fundamentals of Structural Engineering

Fundamentals of Structural Engineering, 2nd Edition, provides a balanced treatment of classic analytic methods and computer-based techniques for conceptualizing and designing structures. The textbook links fundamental principles with practical modeling tools across civil and structural disciplines.

The 2016 second edition adds coverage of geometrically nonlinear analysis and limit analysis based on nonlinear inelastic behavior. These additions incorporate illustrative examples of structural response generated with advanced engineering software.

Designed for civil engineering and architecture students with background in engineering mechanics and mechanics of materials, the volume pairs realistic problems with simulations. It also serves as a comprehensive reference for practicing engineers.
