Innovative structural engineering enhances the functionality, serviceability and life-cycle performance of our civil infrastructure systems. As a result, it contributes significantly to the improvement of efficiency, productivity and quality of life. Whilst many books on structural engineering exist, they are widely variable in approach, quality and availability. With the Structural Engineering: Mechanics and Design series, Spon aims to build up an authoritative and comprehensive library of reference books presenting the state-of-the-art in structural engineering, for industry and academia.
