Review: This book brings together structural analysis strategies from a wide range of industries: in high rise buildings, long-span roofs, bridges, ageing nuclear structures, offshore structures, automotive structures, composite aircraft structures and ship structures. The authors look at the simulation of loading and environmental demands and the compatibility and consistency of modelling choices, enhancing modelling efficiency and accuracy to improve the life cycle performance of the structures. The eighteen authors, from around the world bring together their different experiences and ideas, illustrated by case studies, to enable a cross-fertilization of ideas.
