Are you interested in python and its applications in structural engineering? Are you a professional or a student looking for a way to speed up your work? Then this book was written exactly for you. No prior knowledge of the language is required: the book goes from basic programming concepts to writing useful real-world applications.

Learn in a fast and effective way

The best way to learn a programming language is to use it to solve problems. That is why you will find in this book a vast selection of real world examples, tailored specifically to people with a civil engineering background.

Python is the new Excel

I have seen many people learn python and never go back to excel again. The workflow is a lot faster, and with Jupyter notebooks you can even automatically output your documents in LATEX format.

Contents

During the first part of the book you will learn the basics of python, alongside its most useful libraries. In the second part all these concepts will come togheter to provide solutions to real world problems. Here is an overview of what you will learn:

Python basic sintax and structures

Symbolic calculations with sympy

Data structures with pandas

Plotting beautiful graphs with matplotlib

working with excel and csv files

and also:

solving isostatic and hyperstatic structures

plotting moment and shear distributions

steel member design

concrete member design

Creating print-ready LATEX documents automatically
