Product Description


This book provides students with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames. Emphases are placed on teaching readers to both model and analyze a structure. A hallmark of the book, Procedures for Analysis, has been retained in this edition to provide learners with a logical, orderly method to follow when applying theory. Chapter topics include types of structures and loads, analysis of statically determinate structures, analysis of statically determinate trusses, internal loadings developed in structural members, cables and arches, influence lines for statically determinate structures, approximate analysis of statically indeterminate structures, deflections, analysis of statically indeterminate structures by the force method, displacement method of analysis: slope-deflection equations, displacement method of analysis: moment distribution, analysis of beams and frames consisting of nonprismatic members, truss analysis using the stiffness method, beam analysis using the stiffness method, and plane frame analysis using the stiffness method. For individuals planning for a career as structural engineers. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The text gives a thorough presentation of the theory of structural analysis and its application to trusses, beams, and frames. Discussions relevant to a particular theory are concise yet thorough, and, in most cases, are followed by "Procedures for Analysis"--a logical, orderly method for students to follow when applying theory. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Structural Analysis (5th Edition) (Hardcover) This book could be a great book for the unergrad intro to structures course. It has a nice writing style, it is easy to understand, and has plenty of example problems. However, it is FULL of errors. It think someone in my class would find a new error at least once a week.
