Part of the book series: Mechanics of Structural Systems ((MSSY,volume 5))

Abstract

In the past sections we have focused upon the functional requirements of beam, plate and shell structural elements as subjected to particular loading environments. The material presented in this section now addresses the broader based objective of having acquired a knowledge of the load analysis methodology, how can one now apply this knowledge to design a structural system to ensure a potentially safe design.
