Abstract

In structural engineering, the term usually refers to in which the distribution of force effects is determined in the various components of a structure. The responses of a structure such as deflections and bending moments are often referred to as load effects. Another infrequently used term in structural engineering is which refers to the process of determining the strength of the whole structure or its components. The term is used in this book only in the meaning of force analysis.
