Synopsis

Entire book and illustrative examples have been edited extensively, and several chapters repositioned.
* Imperial units are used instead of SI units in many of the examples and problems, particularly those of a nonlinear nature that have strong implications for design, since the SI system has not been fully assimilated in practice.

About this title

From the Publisher

Examines computerized structural analysis methods for buildings, bridges, and other structures, with special emphasis on current practices. Covers the stiffness analysis of frames, the flexibility method, virtual work principles, special analysis procedures, and more. Defines the terminology, coordinate systems, and fundamental concepts of structural behavior, laying the foundation for the study of more advanced treatments such as the finite element method.

From the Back Cover

With the first edition being published over twenty years ago, the aim of this edition remains the same which is to place proper emphasis on the methods of matrix structural analysis used in current practice, and to provide the groundwork for forthcoming practice and allied, more advanced subject matter. This edition features new chapters on the nonlinear analysis of framed structures and treatment of the solution of nonlinear problems.
