✦ Synopsis

Describes some of the limitations and difficulties of the finite element method and discusses implications in relation to the analysis of bridge and building structures. The main limitations of the method are related to difficulties encountered in: (i) cost; (ii) complexity; (iii) convergence problems and approximations: (iv) computer storage requirements and (v) associated communication problems.
