A concise, but thorough textbook focused exclusively on structural stability by two highly respected professors in the field.
The ability of a structural assembly to carry loads and forces determines how stable it will be over time. Viewing structural assemblages as comprising columns, beams, arches, rings, and plates, this book will introduce the student to both a classical and advanced understanding …
