'A wide-ranging introduction to structural behaviour and analysis, copiously illustrated with historical examples, case studies of modern landmark structures, and failure analyses.''The examples are well spread throughout the book, and ... are sure to enthuse anyone with more than a passing interest in the subject.''Best suited to students at the top end of the ability range, and is also likely to be attractive to professional structual engineers looking to brush up their skills or gain some new insights into their subject.' - all from Dr. Martin Williams, Hazards Forum'It is difficult to find a topic that is not considered in detail within this text ... the list is exhaustive and in all cases the presentation of the methods is rigorous.' - The Engineers Journal, the Institution of Engineers of Ireland magazine'An excellent, interesting and beneficial read.' - The Engineers Journal, the Institution of Engineers of Ireland magazine
