A
good grasp of the theory of structures - the theoretical basis by which
the strength, stiffness and stability of a building can be understood -
is fundamental to structural engineers and architects. Yet most modern structural analysis and design is carried out by computer, with the user isolated from the processes in action. Plastic Design of Frames; Volume 1. Fundamentals provides a broad introduction to the mathematics behind a range of structural processes. The basic structural equations
have been known for at least 150 years, but modern plastic theory has
opened up a fundamentally new way of advancing structural theory.
Paradoxically, the powerful plastic theorems can be used to examine
'classic' elastic design activity, and strong mathematical relationships exist between these two approaches. Some of the techniques used in this book
may be familiar to the reader, and some may not, but each of the topics
examined will give the structural engineer valuable insight into the
basis of the subject. This companion book Plastic Design of Frames;
Volume 2. Applications provides additional advanced topics and case
studies. This lucid volume provides a valuable read for structural
engineers and others who wish to deepen their knowledge of the structural analysis and design of buildings.
