Clearly structured, the chapters guide readers from simple to complex concepts with new topics building on previous chapters. As a practical reference, this title equips readers with a solid understanding of universal structural principles, enabling safe conceptual and preliminary designs irrespective of the design code being used. It will also assist readers in interpreting and verifying computer-generated outputs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This second volume in a two-book series delves into advanced topics such as spatial structural systems, dynamic behaviour, seismic response, and soil-structure interaction. It explores a wide range of subjects, including grillages, slabs, shells, rectilinear and curved thin-walled beams, rectilinear and curved box-girder bridges, and multi-storey systems. Additionally, it addresses the dynamic and seismic behaviour of structural systems, the performance of supporting structures on the ground, and soil-structure interaction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Understanding and Designing Structures without a Computer: Spatial structural systems, dynamics and foundations is an accessible and authoritative resource for readers of all experience levels, fostering a solid understanding of structural behaviour without relying on computer models.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Leonidas Stavridis\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Structural Engineering and Design at National Technical University of Athens, Greece.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Konstantinos Georgiadis\u003c\/strong\u003e MEng, MSc., PhD DIC, CEng, MICE is a Chartered Senior Bridge Engineer at Arup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 9.7 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48290699542777,"sku":"9781836629450","price":134.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/beXnMKkFho9781836629450.webp?v=1776289328","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/understanding-and-designing-structures-without-a-computer-spatial-structural-systems-dynamics-and-foundations-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
