It addresses the specialized design needs of structural components found in tall buildings, offshore structures, and foundations, which often fall outside the scope of standard building codes. The material outlines various analytical methods, including plasticity theory, the softened truss model, and finite element analysis, to predict strength and failure modes. Significant attention is given to the CIRIA Guide 2, detailing "Simple Rules" for uniform loads and "Supplementary Rules" for complex
