Revision 6.0

630 pages

Introductory course book in structural analysis and design. The theories of matrix structural analysis and finite element analysis for the solution of analytical and design problems in structures are emphasized. Lecture material includes structural theory compatibility method, slope deflection method, displacement method and virtual work. Topics include applications to bars, beams, trusses, frames, and solids.
