Advanced Structural Analysis with MATLAB®
About this book
Building structures are unique in the field of engineering, as they pose challenges in the development and conceptualization of their design. As more innovative structural forms are envisioned, detailed analyses using computer tools are inevitable. This book enables readers to gain an overall understanding of computer-aided analysis of various types of structural forms using advanced tools such as MATLAB®. Detailed descriptions of the fundamentals are explained in a "classroom" style, which will make the content more user-friendly and easier to understand. Basic concepts are emphasized through simple illustrative examples and exercises, and analysis methodologies and guidelines are explained through numerous example problems.

1.1 Introduction to Structural Analysis
The first and foremost step in structural analysis is problem formulation using an appropriate mathematical model. There are two models widely used in classical structural analysis, namely: (1) the statically determinate model and (2) the statically indeterminate model. Statically determinate models are relatively easier as they use only the basic equations of static equilibrium to solve the problem. Hence, one should look for ways to solve problems related to statically indeterminate models through computer methods. In order to solve the problems, it is important to formulate a standard procedure, which should be generic in nature and not problem-specific. Thus, it is important to note that the models should be restrained from any action to enable solution of the problem by using a standard equation of statics. This can be done by grouping the formation. Grouping is done through two methods, namely: (1) the flexibility method; and (2) the stiffness method.
Both of the previously mentioned methods are frequently used to simpl...
