The increase in the popularity and the number of potential applications of the finite strip method has created a demand for a definitive text/reference on the subject. Fulfilling this demand, The Finite Strip Method provides practicing engineers, researchers, and students with a comprehensive introduction and theoretical development, and a complete treatment of current practical applications of the method.
Written by experts who are arguably the world's leading authorities in the field, The Finite Strip Method covers both the classical strip and the newly developed spline strip and computed shape function strip. Applications in structural engineering, with particular focus on practical structures such as slab-beam bridges, box girder bridges, and tall buildings are discussed extensively. Applications in geotechnology are also covered, as are recently formulated applications in nonlinear analysis.
The Finite Strip Method is a unique book, supplying much-needed information by well-known and highly regarded authors.

Recently, the finite strip method has been used in fields beyond just structural engineering, for example in geotechnology and soil engineering. Because of the popularity and increased number of applications of the method, and because there exists no other text/reference on the subject, The Finite Strip Method will most likely remain the field's authoritative source for many years, and perhaps even decades.
The finite strip method has been used in fields beyond just structural engineering, for example in geotechnology and soil engineering. This book deals with this subject.
