This handbook covers everything structural engineers need to know for working into the next millennium! Structural Engineering Handbook CRC netBASE is a complete resource for anyone involved in designing or building structures covering the spectrum of modern structural engineering topics. This CD addresses theoretical, practical, and computing aspects of the field - enabling the reader to review fundamentals, obtain detailed information on applications,or read about the most recent developments.
The book has been expanded and reorganized to be more informative and cohesive. It also follows the developments that have emerged in the field since the previous edition, such as advanced analysis for structural design, performance-based design of earthquake-resistant structures, lifecycle evaluation and condition assessment of existing structures, the use of high-performance materials for construction, and design for safety. Additionally, the book includes numerous tables, charts, and equations, as well as extensive references, reading lists, and websites for further study or more in-depth information. Emphasizing practical applications and easy implementation, this text reflects the increasingly global nature of engineering, compiling the efforts of an international panel of experts from industry and academia. This is a necessity for anyone studying or practicing in the field of structural engineering.
