※造船、輪機、海洋工程、航海等領域學員之船舶構造入門教材；岸上船舶經理人、船舶修造工程師、船舶檢驗人員、海險及海事鑑定人員參考用書。本書是船舶結構系列叢書的第一部，後續的兩部分別是《船體結構設計》及《船舶結構學》。自2011年國際海事組織（IMO），公告實施了目標導向的船舶建造標準（GBS, Goal-Based Standards）起，即開啟船舶建造法規劃時代的變革。以往船舶構造的船級規範多只要求核算新船的強度達標否？這些強度包括縱向強度、扭轉強度、橫向強度、挫曲強度及局部強度等。新的GBS除考慮船舶構造的設計初始強度之外，尚需考慮船體結構之安全使用壽命。簡言之，GBS標準把以往船級規範的「有多強？」的一級標準，一下子帶往「有多強？」、「用多久？」、「多安全？」的三級標準。全書分為九章，探討了船舶構造的構型、法規、材料、縱向強度、橫向強度、挫曲強度、極限強度及銲接結構之疲勞強度與局部強度等。

The Golden Gate Bridge, beloved landmark and symbol of San Francisco, finally gets a gorgeous picture book that tells the thrilling story of how it was built! Written by National Book Award finalist and Sibert Medal winner Elizabeth Partridge. Across a treacherous strait where deep ocean waters rip back and forth with the tides, and during the depths of the Great Depression, daring teams of engineers and builders set out to make something many thought impossible. Begun in 1933 and officially opened on May 27, 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge and its awe-inspiring and groundbreaking construction are truly a testament to the power of hope and perseverance. Told from the point of view of the lighthouse keeper's kids, who watch in fascination as the trucks and crews arrive and steel towers coated in heavy red paint begin to rise above the tempestuous water, Golden Gate shares a thrilling visual perspective on each stage of the breathtaking project.
