In the past, the main difficulties in structural analysis lay in the solution process, now model development is a fundamental issue. This work sets out the basic principles for structural analysis modelling and discusses basic processes for using modern software.

This volume provides a concise, historical review of the methods of structural analysis and design - from Galileo in the seventeenth century, to the present day. Through it, students in structural engineering and professional engineers will gain a deeper understanding of the theory behind the modern software packages they use daily in structural design. This book also offers the reader a lucid examination of the process of structural analysis and how it relates to modern design. The first three chapters cover questions about the strength of materials, and how to calculate local effects. An account is then given of the development of the equations of elastic flexure and buckling, followed by a separate chapter on masonry arches. Three chapters on the overall behaviour of elastic structures lead to a discussion of plastic behaviour, and a final chapter indicates that there are still problems needing solution.

This companion to the previously published book [BO]Classical Structural Analysis[BX], also by the same author, focuses on advanced structural analysis using matrix methods for the element method of design calculations. With this method, the structural properties of each structural member (or element) taken together, of an entire structure, are used to calculate load behaviour and construction needs of a whole building or other structure. The matrix method is particularly suited to computer methods that must employ thousands of reiterate calculations. The book contains dozens of worked-out problems and design exercises, as well as an actual computer program at the end of the book for matrix method calculations.

Proper treatment of structural behavior under severe loading - such as the performance of a high-rise building during an earthquake - relies heavily on the use of probability-based analysis and decision-making tools. Proper application of these tools is significantly enhanced by a thorough understanding of the underlying theoretical and computation
