Physical Models

Their Historical and Current Use in Civil and Building Engineering Design

by Bill Addis, Karl-Eugen Kurrer, Werner Lorenz ...

Series series Edition Bautechnikgeschichte / Construction History
Physical models have been, and continue to be used by engineers when faced with unprecedented challenges, when engineering science has been non-existent or inadequate, and in any other situation when the engineer has needed to raise their confidence in a design proposal to a sufficient level to begin construction. For this reason, models have mostly been used by designers and constructors of ... Read more

Structural Engineering

A Very Short Introduction

by David Blockley ...

Series series Very Short Introductions
Have you ever wondered how it's possible to build a skyscraper, a big bridge, a jumbo jet, or a cruise liner? Everything has structure. Structure is the difference between a random pile of components and a fully functional object. Through structure the parts connect to make the whole. Natural structures vary from the very smallest part of an atom to the entire cosmology of the universe. Man-made ... Read more
