- Emphasis on a limited number of powerful classical techniques along with an early transition from classical to numerical techniques.
- Early introduction of computer modeling and usage so students can check hand-calculations with computer results.
- Computation of a variety of code-based structural loads such as dead, live, wind, snow, and rain loads.
- Clearly presents the strong link between structural analysis and design. Design exercises in the text are based on the same problems that students work out in the analysis section.
- Covers important topic of code-based steel and concrete design in a time-limited curriculum.
- Discussion of advanced topics of finite element and design optimization prepares students for the next level or more advanced courses.
- Formal design problem formulation to solve one-parameter and multi-parameter design problems.
- Includes the study of material behavior, structural performance considerations, and appropriate theories of failure.
- Early use of commercial grade structural analysis and design software.
