Opis

This book relies on creating continuum models for the structural analysis of multi-storey buildings and presents the theoretical background and the governing differential equations (for researchers) and simple closed-form solutions (for practicing structural engineers).

O autorze

Karoly Zalka spent eleven years in structural engineering practice before moving to academia lecturing on structural mechanics/analysis in Hungary. He has been involved in research throughout his career, including a ten-year period at the Building Research Establishment, UK. He has developed several hand-methods for the global structural analysis of buildings. He is currently a visiting Professor at the Technical University of Budapest. His publications include Global Structural Analysis of Buildings, also published by CRC Press.
