Stability of Structures - Principles and Applications

The current trend of building more streamlined structures has made stability analysis a subject of extreme importance. It is mostly a safety issue because stability loss could result in an unimaginable catastrophe. Written by two authors with a combined 80 years of professional and academic experien...
