It covers framed structures as well as plates and shells using elastic and plastic theory, and emphasizes the historical background and the relationship to practical engineering activities. This is the first comprehensive treatment of the school of structures that has evolved at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich over the last 50 years. The many worked examples and exercises make this a textbook ideal for in-depth studies. Each chapter concludes with a. Introduction. The Purpose and Scope of Theory of Structures -- Brief Historical Background -- Fundamentals. Design of Structures -- Structural Analysis and Dimensioning -- Static Relationships -- Kinematic Relationships -- Constitutive Relationships -- Energy Methods -- Linear Analysis of Framed Structures.
