Blurb

Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of this well-respected book provides the most comprehensive coverage of structural design, ideal for undergraduates in all years of civil engineering and structural engineering courses. Fully up-to-date with the most recent structural Eurocodes, it provides a detailed study of design using the four most important materials for construction: concrete, steel, timber and masonry.

Design of Structural Elements
- is fully up-to-date for the structural Eurocodes
- features a wealth of practical problems and real-world examples
- includes more than 500 easy-to-follow diagrams
- comprehensively covers all the key topics, including a detailed section on structural analysis

Translating theory into practice with plenty of worked examples, this user-friendly text is an indispensable resource both for students and for practising engineers looking to refresh their knowledge.
