Virtual reality: immersed in the structural world

Based on his 2015 James Sutherland History Lecture, Alan Hayward traces the development of steel bridge building in Britain from the construction of the Forth Rail Bridge in 1890. Part 1 covers the period up to the 1970s.

This comprehensive book would make a useful companion for students of structural engineering, believes Ian May, seeing them though from undergraduate courses to postgraduate study or their first career steps as structural engineers.

Adrian Long finds this to be a well-written and useful book, which will be of value to structural engineers involved in reinforced concrete design and, particularly, to lecturers thanks to its extensive list of references to research papers.
