This book proposes and validates a number of methods and shortcuts for frugal engineers, which will allow them to significantly reduce the computational costs for analysis and reanalysis and, as a result, for structural design processes. The need for accuracy and speed in analyz…
This book shows how MATLAB programming framework can be used in finite element analysis of solids and structures. Topics covered range from simple springs and bars to more complex beams and plates in static bending, free vibrations and buckling problems.

This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of information technology in civil and building engineering, presented at the 18th International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ICCCBE), São Paulo, Brazil, August 18-20,…
The book gives a compact review of numerical methods and a description of material behavior. These basics are applied to bars, beams, strut and tie models, plates, slabs and shells. Examples are developed for each structural type, and may be reproduced by open source software.
