Book Is Written for Students as Well as Early Career and
Advanced Structural Engineers
August
18, 2014 – Bentley Institute Press, publisher of cutting-edge university
textbooks and professional reference works for the architectural, engineering, and
construction (AEC), operations, geospatial, and educational communities,
recently announced the publication of Principles of Structural Analysis – Static
and Dynamic Loads, the second
book in a three-part series. This compendium of
information about STAAD.Pro – a mainstay of Bentley’s world-leading
3D structural analysis and design engineering software – bridges the gap
between structural engineering concepts and their practical application to real-world
challenges. The book is authored by Bentley Systems technical support director
Krishnan Sathia, a structural engineer with more than 15 years of experience developing
and applying STAAD.Pro.
Principles of Structural Analysis – Static
and Dynamic Loads is written for a broad spectrum of readers pursuing an
in-depth understanding of structural information modeling best practices. Students
and early career structural engineers will learn how to model, analyze, and
design using STAAD.Pro, while seasoned
practitioners will benefit from detailed explanations of STAAD.Pro’s many advanced features.
Sathia said
“I’ve written this book to help students
become structural engineers and practitioners to become more proficient and
productive. For instance, in addition to including the fundamentals of creating
information models using STAAD.Pro,
I’ve provided comprehensive
descriptions of various methods for generating data that will save even
advanced practicing engineers time and enhance their productivity.”
Principles of Structural Analysis – Static
and Dynamic Loads leverages the collective knowledge of structural experts
and software technicians across the world to help support the information
requirements of practicing engineers. By delving into the methods and
principles inherent to STAAD.Pro, it provides
a complete understanding of the program. In addition, it reviews common
modeling errors and methods for avoiding or overcoming them, enabling engineers
to create better and more accurate models in less time. These chapters teach engineers
to verify the accuracy of their input and results to ensure models best reflect
real-world conditions.
Other
subjects covered include static analysis of framed structures, finite element
analysis, load generation, seismic and dynamic analysis, steel design, and
concrete design.
Like
all of the titles in the Bentley Institute Press portfolio, Principles of Structural Analysis –Static and Dynamic Loads aims
to deliver continuous learning to help readers increase their technical know-how
and improve their workflow efficiencies.
