Covers not only traditional, but also novel and innovative approaches to
analysis, design, and rehabilitation problems
Stresses professional applications in an easy-to-read, ready-to-use format
Contains nearly 1000 tables, charts, and illustrations along with
virtually every equation structural engineers need
Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural
Engineering, this second edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad
spectrum of structural engineering, encapsulating the theoretical,
practical, and computational aspects of the field. The authors address a
myriad of topics, covering both traditional and innovative approaches to
analysis, design, and rehabilitation.
The second edition has been expanded and reorganized to be more informative
and cohesive. It also follows the developments that have emerged in the
field since the previous edition, such as advanced analysis for structural
design, performance-based design of earthquake-resistant structures,
lifecycle evaluation and condition assessment of existing structures, the
use of high-performance materials for construction, and design for safety.
Additionally, the book includes numerous tables, charts, and equations, as
well as extensive references, reading lists, and websites for further study
or more in-depth information. Emphasizing practical applications and easy
implementation, this text reflects the increasingly global nature of
engineering, compiling the efforts of an international panel of experts from
industry and academia. This is a necessity for anyone studying or practicing
in the field of structural engineering. 1,768 pp.
