Beschreibung:
Deflections tend to have more significance in modern structures, especially those that are either taller, longer or have wider spans than earlier designs. It is also necessary to provide desirable distributions of internal forces in order to achieve effective, efficient and elegant structures.
Introduction. Theoretical Background. More Direct Internal Force Paths. Smaller Internal Forces. More Uniform Distribution of Internal Forces. Converting Bending Moments into Axial Forces. Concluding remarks.
