Description: "This book is a personal anthology of the author's utmost academic works and accomplishments with his former students and colleagues intended as an enduring record for the engineering community for many years to come. -- It gives a big picture of the modern development of structural engineering starting from the highly mathematical theory of plasticity, to soil and concrete plasticity, to limit analysis leading to theory of beam-columns, reinforced concrete design, plastic design in steels including advanced analysis in structural stability of frames, and offshore structures along with safe construction analysis"--
