What is Understanding Structures : An Introduction to Structural Analysis about?

'Understanding Structures' provides a basic understanding of how buildings or bridges resist gravity, wind, or earthquake loads - understanding essential for the design and construction of safe structures. This interactive textbook features companion GOYA software, designed to improve intuitive understanding of structures. Before structural mechanics became the common language of structural engineers, buildings were built based on observed behavior, with every new solution incurring high levels of risk. Today, the pendulum has swung in the other direction. The web of structural mechanics is so finely woven that it hides the role of experience in design, again leading to high levels of risk. Understanding Structures brings the art and science of structures into the environment of a computer game. The book imparts a basic understanding of how buildings and bridges resist gravity, wind, and earthquake loads. Its interactive presentation of topics spans elementary concepts of force in trusses to bending of beams and the response of multistory, multi-bay frames. Formulate Graphical and Quantitative Solutions with GOYA The companion software, GOYA, runs easily on any java-enabled system.
