Structural Analysis(1st Edition)

Book details

Book Price $55.3 : The Second Edition Of Structural Analysis Is A Basic Undergraduate Textbook Which Is Divided Into Five Distinct But Related Parts Exploring Sequentially And Comprehensively The Basic And Advanced Concepts Of Structural Mechanics.Part 1 Introduces The Basic Concepts Of Structure, Loading And Response. Parts 2 And 3 Deal Respectively With Various Methods Of Finding The Force Response And Displacement Response Of Statically Determinate Structures. Parts 4 And 5 Explore Various Methods Of Analysing Indeterminate Structures By Force And Displacement Methods Respectively. In This Second Edition, The Contents Have Been Revised And Made Up-to-date.Many Issues Related To The Finer Aspects Of The Theory Are Explored In Detail. This Includes Numerous Applications, Including Short-cut Methods Of Analyzing Indeterminate Structures. Topics That Are Commonly Ill-understood By Engineers, Such As The Principle Of Virtual Work, Energy Methods And Displacement Methods, Are Discussed Here With Emphasis On Clarity In Understanding And Developing A Physical Feel'. The Main Objective Is To Enable The Student To Have A Good Grasp Of All The Fundamental Issues In This Subject, Besides Enjoying The Learning Process, And Developing Analytical And Intuitive Skills.Table Of Contentsâ?¢ Structureâ?¢ Loadâ?¢ Responseâ?¢ Force Response In Statically Determinate Structures: Support Reactionsâ?¢ Internal Forces In Beamsâ?¢ Axial Forces In Trussesâ?¢ Axial Forces In Cables And Funicular Archesâ?¢ Internal Forces In Framesâ?¢ Influence Linesâ?¢ Displacement Response In Statically Determinate Structures: Deflection In Beams: Conventional Methodsâ?¢ Principle Of Virtual Forcesâ?¢ Energy Methodsâ?¢ Statically Indeterminate Structures: Force Methods: Introduction To Force Methodsâ?¢ Method Of Consistent Deformationsâ?¢ Theorem Of Least Workâ?¢ Column Analogy Methodâ?¢ Approximate Lateral Load Analysis Of Building Framesâ?¢ Deflections In Statically Inderminate Structuresâ?¢ Kinematically Indeterminate Structures Displacement Methods: Introduction To Displacement Methodsâ?¢ Slope-Deflection Methodâ?¢ Moment Distribution Methodâ?¢ Kani's Methodâ?¢ Index.
