Abstract The state-of-the-art of progress of structural engineering over the last 50 years is examined in three areas: (1) The spatial idealization of structural elements in the form of kinematical assumptions; (2) The constitutive idealization of materials in the form of generalized stresses and generalized strains relations; and (3) The computational implications of solution strategy in the form of closed form, approximate, and numerical procedures on the structural level.
