The analysis of complex structural systems involves the knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math to design and develop efficient and economical buildings and other structures. The link between the basic concepts and application to real world problems is one of the most challenging learning endeavors that structural engineers face. A thorough understanding of the analysis procedures should lead to successful structures UR - https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/bcsl-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1899726 ER -
