This extended and revised second edition elaborates on techniques for the numerical analysis of beams, long strips, circular plates, and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and on unyielding or elastic supports. Emphasis is placed on the simplicity of analysis, while maintaining the accuracy of results, and a large number of examples are included as illustration. Easy-to-use,... Read more

Biography
Dr Edmund S Melerski, who sadly passed away just before publication of this book, was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania, Australia. He had over 35 years of experience in university teaching and research in the area of structures and structural analysis, gained in four countries. His major research interests were associated with the soil-structure interaction analysis, resulting in a large number of papers and this definitive work.
