Numerical Methods in Structural Engineering and Selected Topics

This book is a comprehensive guide to numerical methods and selected topics in structural engineering, offering practical insights for solving real-world engineering problems. Drawing on over 30 years of professional experience in structural engineering, teaching, and consulting, the author presents a practical and accessible resource for students, engineers, and researchers. The book emphasizes the application of numerical methods for the preliminary design of safe and economical structures, illustrated with worked examples in both SI and US customary units.
Organized into four chapters; Introduction to Numerical Methods, Numerical Structural Analysis, Numerical Structural Design, and Selected Topics, it combines theory with practical examples to bridge the gap between classroom learning and professional practice. Clear explanations, structured content, and relevant case studies make it a valuable reference for universities, libraries, engineering firms, and civil engineering societies. It is ideal for academic study, professional development, and use in conferences focused on structural engineering and computational methods.
