STRUCTURE Magazine
National Council of Structural Engineers Associations
Trade magazine published by NCSEA, CASE and SEI, carrying practitioner articles on building codes, materials, forensic investigations and completed projects. Reading issues builds a sense of how structural design decisions get argued, defended and revised in practice.

Finite Element Procedures for Solids and Structures (MIT RES.2-002)
Two video series from 1982 and 1986 teaching the principles, assumptions and implementation of finite element procedures for linear and nonlinear static and dynamic analysis. Includes 34 lecture videos with accompanying notes, giving engineers a rigorous foundation for structural finite element work.
Structural Analysis and Control (MIT 1.571)
Computer-based analysis of large-scale structures: modeling strategies for tall buildings, cable-stayed bridges and tension structures, the theory of active structural control, and classical feedback control design for civil structures using simulation software. Includes lecture notes, problem sets and an open textbook.
Engineer4Free
A free video course of roughly eighty short lessons covering vectors, 2D and 3D equilibrium, moments, friction, trusses, frames, centroids, and shear and bending moment diagrams. Prepares students for structural analysis coursework.
Mechanics of Materials I: Fundamentals of Stress & Strain and Axial Loading
Georgia Tech course introducing mechanics of materials through stress, strain, Hooke's law, material properties and axially loaded members, including statically indeterminate and thermal cases. Learners can calculate stresses and deformations in bars and assess them against failure limits.
Geotechnical Engineering - I
Learn the fundamentals of soil mechanics & geotechnical engineering with Prof. Rajagopal. Explore soil properties, stress analysis, & more!
Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering
Chopra's graduate structural dynamics text covers single- and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, response spectra, and modal analysis, then applies them to seismic design codes. Readers finish able to compute a building's response to recorded ground motion.
