Features: The previous edition of this book was published in 1991. This revision, as one of the "Civil Engineering Graduate Series Textbooks," has been significantly updated with new content. The book systematically introduces the theory of thin-walled rods with open sections by Vlasov, the theory of thin-walled rods with closed sections by Umansky, and the generalized coordinate principle method for closed-section rods considering distortion of the periphery. It also covers the calculation of thin-walled rods with open sections reinforced by transverse connections, which is essential for high-rise building structures and bridge structures. Additionally, the book includes topics such as the force method and displacement method for calculating thin-walled rod structures, stability calculations for thin-walled rods, the energy principles and finite element method for thin-walled rods, and more. New content has been added, including calculations for thin-walled curved rods, thin-walled continuous curved beams, and simplified structures of high-rise buildings, as well as the semi-analytical ordinary differential equation solver method for thin-walled rod structures. This book is suitable as a textbook and reference for engineering technicians in fields such as architectural structures, construction machinery, and road bridges, as well as for senior undergraduate and graduate students in higher education institutions.
