For one/two-semester, undergraduate-level courses in Statics and Strength of Materials, Engineering Mechanics, and Strength of Materials. Focusing on mastery of the basics, this book presents a non-Calculus based elementary, analytical, and practical approach to the principles and physical concepts of Statics and Strength of Materials. It features a rigorous, comprehensive step-by-step problem solving approach; an abundance of worked-out example problems and homework problems; and a focus on principles and applications applicable to many fields of engineering technology - e.g., civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial, and manufacturing.

From the Publisher:

This text provides thorough coverage of all basic statics and strength topics in an applied, step-by-step presentation that is ideal for undergraduate engineering technology students. New coverage based on recent trends in the field and the latest standards for AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design, introduces students to this new industry standard. All material is presented at a mathematics level which does not require the use of calculus.
