A comprehensive foundation in infrastructure design and analysis. Infrastructure Systems offers complete coverage of both static and dynamic analysis and design of infrastructure systems, from the basics of structural mechanics and dynamics to advanced analysis techniques. Bridging theory and applications, this invaluable book contains unique methods that simplify the analysis and design of nonlinear and complex linear infrastructural systems -powerful new tools for both informed students and practicing engineers. Well-written and easy to follow, Infrastructure Systems presents: * Fundamentals of statics, stress and deformation, and infrastructural dynamics of beams, frames, buildings, bridges, and other components * Equivalent systems, infrastructural nonlinearities, instability, and inelastic response for components of uniform or variable stiffness * A detailed examination of structures subjected to earthquake excitations and blast loadings -elastic and elastoplastic analyses, Lagrange's equation, and more * Energy concepts and applications, and the finite element and finite difference methods * Extensive examples and illustrations, plus detailed answers to selected problems.

Industry Reviews

“The stated goal of this welcome new survey is to overcome some of the shortcomings of L. R. Palmer's classic handbook The Latin Language, unrevised since its publication in 1954. The goal is worthy, and the execution is in many ways a success.” (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, March 2009)

“Clackson and Horrocks have produced a wide-ranging, theoretically sophisticated, and still thoroughly manageable book that will not easily be superseded.” (New England Classical Journal, February 2009)

"James Clackson and Geoffrey Horrocks have Succeeded admirably in their aim, presenting a mass of data within persuasive narrative." (Times Literary Supplement, December 2008)

“The hefty Blackwell History of the Latin Language The authors focus on the evolution of the sounds, vocabulary, word and sentence structure over the centuries.” (Chicago Tribune)

“[The authors] set the tone with an honesty that is appreciated .Marvelous treatment of understudied languages .Carefully, admirably, proofread .Recommended.” (Choice)
