STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, 10TH EDITION IN SI UNITS

Structural Analysis, 10e in SI Units, presents the theory and applications of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames. Through its student-friendly, clear organization, the text emphasizes developing the ability to model and analyze a structure in preparation for professional practice.
The text is designed to ensure students taking their first course in this subject understand some of the more important classical methods of structural analysis, in order to obtain a better understanding of how loads are transmitted through a structure, and how the structure will deform under load. The large number of problems covers realistic situations involving various levels of difficulty.
Salient Features –
The organization and approach of the text presents a structured method for introducing each new definition or concept, and makes the book a convenient resource for later reference and review.
Procedures for Analysis is a unique feature that provides students with a logical and systematic method for applying theory and building problem-solving skills. The example problems are solved using this outlined method in order to clarify the steps needed for solution.
NEW! Structural modeling is discussed throughout, especially as it applies to modeling a structure for a computer analysis.
Photographs throughout the book demonstrate how principles of structural analysis apply to real-world situations and help students visualize difficult concepts.
NEW! Preliminary problems offer simple applications of concepts and help students develop problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any of the standard problems that follow.
