Opis

Filled with a wealth of examples, this new edition provides important extensions of unique techniques of numerical analyses of beams, long strips, circular plates, and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and unyielding/elastic supports. The Windows-based software included is a powerful tool that uses the numerical techniques outlined in the book to make design analysis of the structures easy and time-efficient. The applicability of the software extends to analysis of laterally loaded piles and bending analysis of retaining walls. In this book and in the design of the software, the emphasis is on simplicity of analysis without compromising the accuracy of results.

O autorze

Dr Edmund S Melerski, who sadly passed away just before publication of this book, was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania, Australia. He had over 35 years of experience in university teaching and research in the area of structures and structural analysis, gained in four countries. His major research interests were associated with the soil-structure interaction analysis, resulting in a large number of papers and this definitive work.
