The theory of structures is
one of the oldest branches of engineering. There was early interest in large,
indeed ostentatious, buildings, and the design of such buildings needed more
than peasant tradition; they were intended to be, and were, spectacular feats,
and they required professional advice from acknowledged masters. Names of their
designers are known through two or three millenia, and building manuals have
survived through the same period. (Man showed also an early interest in waging
war, and military engineering is another ancient profession; civil engineers
are non-military engineers.)

As might be expected from an
ancient discipline, the theory of structures is an especially simple branch of
solid mechanics. Only three equations can be written; once they are down on
paper, the engineer can in principle solve the whole range of structural
problems. Sometimes the equations can be examined individually; sometimes a
simple tool, virtual work, can be used to combine them to yield surprising
results. In every case, however, it is only the three master equations which
come into play. Equations of statics will ensure that a structure is in
equilibrium. Geometrical equations will ensure that all parts of a structure
fit together before and after deformation, and that the structure rests
securely on its foundations. Finally, the properties of the material used to
build the structure will enter the equations relating the strain in a member to
the applied stress.

This book is concerned with the
basic equations and the way in which they should be used. The equations
themselves have an intrinsic interest, as does their application to a whole
range of structural problems. The later chapters of this book give a tiny
sample, from the almost infinite number of topics in the theory of structures,
for which the results are important, or startling, or simply amusing.
