Structural Engineering: A Very Short Introduction
Have you ever wondered how it's possible to build a skyscraper, a big bridge, a jumbo jet, or a cruise liner?Everything has structure. Through structure the parts connect to make the whole. Structure is the difference between a random pile of components and a fully functional object.
Man-made structures include buildings, bridges, dams, ships, aeroplanes, rockets, trains, cars and fair-ground rides and all forms of artefacts, even large artistic sculptures. Natural structures vary from the very smallest part of an atom to the entire cosmology of the universe. The wide range of different industries in which structural engineers work includes construction, transport, manufacturing, and aerospace.In this Very Short Introduction, David Blockley explores, in non-technical language, what structural engineering is all about, including examples ranging from the Shard in London and the
