About the book
The book is essential reading and a reference source for all civil and structural engineers who need to do, or to learn about, structural analysis - people in practice, students, teachers.
Traditional textbooks on structural analysis cover mechanics and how solutions are achieved. This is only part of the story. Users of modern structural analysis software also need to know how to use it to best effect. The book tells you how to do that.
Another important feature of the text not readily available in other sources is 'validation information', which is used to assess whether a model is capable of satisfying the objectives of the analysis.
What information does the book provide?
- General principles for modelling (Chapter 2).
- Description (Chapter 3) and examples (Chapter 12) of the modelling process.
- Detailed advice about how to define analysis models - mainly of skeletal frame structures - (Chapters 4 to 11).

The book was published is Thomas Telford Ltd. in November 2005
