      Heyman (engineering, U. of Cambridge, UK)--the author of 14 books, a consulting engineer for a number of English cathedrals, and a member of the Architectural Advisory Panel for Westminster Abbey--presents a resource text for engineering students on the basic ideas of structural theory, written against the background of advances made in the field during the last fifty years, notably by the introduction of the so-called plastic theory. As the text purposely concentrates more on the derivation and application of structural equations rather than on details of their solution, the numerical examples are deliberately kept simple; the necessary mathematical foundations of the subject are outlined in three short appendices. Coverage includes a discussion of the strength of structures, stiffness and stability, and traditional methods of elastic analysis for predicting deflexions and the onset of buckling.
