Fundamental Structural Analysis for Design, Pearson Original Edition Paperback – 18 July 2005

by Brett Lemass (Author), Anne Gardner (Author)

This Pearson Original edition is published for the University of Wollongong.

Fundamental Structural Analysis for Design takes a fresh approach to engineering essentials by highlighting the integral role that structural analysis plays in the design process.

It systematically helps students and practitioners to apply structural analysis techniques to design issues as they arise. It also enables students to gain some insight into the limit state approach to design practised around the world.

Product description

From the Back Cover

Fundamental Structural Analysis for Design

In universities around Australia and the world, structural analysis and design continue to be taught in two disparate streams. A book that links fundamental structural analysis principles to engineering design through cohesively threaded strength and serviceability examples has been required for many decades.

Fundamental Structural Analysis for Design takes a fresh approach to engineering essentials by highlighting the integral role that structural analysis plays in the design process. It systematically helps students and practitioners to apply structural analysis techniques to design issues as they arise. It also enables readers to gain some insight into the limit state approach to design practised around the world. Discussion exercises and competency exercises are included to reinforce subject understanding.

Many major structures (including the bridge studied in this book) have been designed using elementary structural analysis principles. It follows that providing students with the tools to conceptually design a major structure in their formative years of university will not only help to ignite the passion and romance that should be embodied in learning about engineering design, but it will also provide the necessary foundation upon which the advanced principles of limit state design and structural analysis modelling of indeterminate structures can be based.

About the Author

Brett Lemass worked at the University of Wollongong. After many years of professional practice as a designer and manager of major road, bridge, high-rise building and dam projects, Brett moved to academia intent on improving design process understanding and fostering a deeper approach to learning for engineering students. His first book presented a synthesised design process model and a technique for structuring conceptual design.

Anne Gardner worked at the University of Technology, Sydney. Previously she worked as a professional engineer before returning to academia where she teaches in the area of structural analysis and is actively involved in the professional practice programme.

This collaborative book between Brett and Anne helps to remove the artificially imposed delineation between structural analysis and design streams for teaching, learning and application.
