摘要:This book is addressed primarily to students taking courses in civil or structural engineering, where there is a continuing need for the unified treatment of the kind that we have again attempted. This book provides most if not all of the information required by students for at least the first two years of three- or four-year degree programmes. More specialist project work in the third or fourth years may require recourse to the more detailed texts that are listed in ₁Further reading₂ at the end of each section. The approach will continue to provide a valuable source of interest and stimulation to both undergraduates and graduates in engineering generally, materials science, building, architecture and related disciplines.
