Traditionally, structural design has been taught using classical methods of calculation by hand. However, computers are increasingly being used to teach the subject and one consequence of this move has been a perception that students are losing a basic understanding of structural design. This book addresses that problem by encouraging basic understanding of the subject whilst using computers to do the design work. Quick test techniques are given for evaluating the answers generated by the computer.
