With Mechanics of Optimal Structural Design, David Rees brings the original approach of weight optimization to the existing structural design literature, providing a methodology for attaining minimum weight of a range of structures under their working loads. He addresses the current gap in education between formal structural design teaching at undergraduate level and the prac 606 $aLightweight construction 606 $aStructural optimization 615 0$aLightweight construction. 615 0$aStructural optimization. 676 $a624.1771 676 $a693 700 $aRees$b D.
