This book will enable readers to compute the cross-sectional properties of individual beams with arbitrary cross-sectional shapes, to apply a general-purpose computer analysis of a complete structure to determine the forces and moments in the individual members, and to use a unified approach for calculating the normal and shear stresses, as well as deflections, for t UR - https://eresourcesptsl.ukm.remotexs.co/user/login?url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9780470172667 ER -
