As structural engineers move further into the age of digital computation and rely more heavily on computers to solve problems, it remains paramount that they understand the basic mathematics and engineering principles used. Analysis of complex structural systems involves knowledge of math, science, engineering and technology to design and develop environmentally and economically efficient buildings and other structures. The link between the basic concepts and real-world applications is one of the most challenging learning endeavors that structural engineers face. The primary purpose of...
