Advanced modelling techniques in structural design

Advanced modelling techniques in structural design / Feng Fu, City University London.

The successful design and construction of iconic new buildings relies on a range of advanced technologies, in particular on advanced modelling techniques. In response to the increasingly complex buildings demanded by clients and architects, structural engineers have developed a range of sophisticate...
