Showcases the design and construction of cable-stayed bridges, featuring innovative structural designs and examples like the Lowry Bridge and Chiasso General Stores.
Covers the sizing procedure for structural elements and the relationship between moment and curvature in deformed structures, using examples of three-hinged gantry cranes.
Explains the plastic hinge method for estimating inelastic deformation capacity in structural elements, focusing on flexural deformations and providing good approximations.
