First published in 1981. Computers are now increasingly used by structural engineers to speed up the lengthy calculations involved in the analysis of structures. This book by an author who has already published a series of similar manuals on ALGOL programs, presents computer methods for the analysis of skeletal structures. The main feature of the book is that it contains five full programs in FORTRAN, ready for use. An introductory text and a range of worked examples show how the programs can be used in practise. In addition to its value in design offices this book will also find a place in college and university departments of civil engineering and computer science as a means to introducing studnets to computer techniques.
