PREFACE
In producing this fourth volume in the series on stability and strength
of structures, we have continued the policy of inviting several expert
contributors to write a chapter each, so that the reader is presented
with authoritative versions of recent ideas on the subject. Sufficient
introductory material has been included in each chapter to enable
anyone with a fundamental knowledge of structural mechanics to
become familiar with various aspects of the subject.
Each of the ten chapters in the book highlights the techniques
developed to solve a selected facet of frame instability. Thus the earlier
chapters deal principally with the instability of entire frames, as
influencing the design of multi-storey structures; the chapters which
follow cover a wider range of instability problems, such as those
connected with joints, braces, etc., as well as special problems as-
sociated with thin-walled structures, arches and portals. The topics
chosen for the various chapters reflect the diversity of problems within
the general area of frame instability and the range of analytical tools
developed in recent years.
As editor, I wish to express my gratitude to all the contributors for
the willing cooperation they extended in producing this volume. I
sincerely hope that the many ideas and experimental data included in
the book will meet the needs of the engineer and researcher alike, and
provide a stimulus to further progress in our understanding of struc-
tural behaviour.
