Structural Analysis

Principles, Methods and Modelling

About this book

  • An in-depth treatment of the subject using numerous worked examples.
  • "Reflection points" for each chapter which invite the reader to look into the details of the procedures described or to extend the applicability of the methods to other kinds of problem.
  • MATLAB® files provided (via companion website) which enable the reader to follow all the worked examples in the book with no prior knowledge of MATLAB required. This way, readers can gain both a familiarity with the basic concepts of structural analysis programming and a clear understanding of the underlying solution process.
  • Numerous problems with solutions provided.

A solutions manual, detailed PowerPointTM presentations for each chapter, and electronic versions of figures from the book are available with qualifying course adoption.
