Requiring little in the way of mathematic ability, but providing much information, this guide shows readers how they can understand and predict how a building and its materials will perform when exposed to a variety of external forces (mechanics). New information in this edition includes an analysis of indeterminate structures and the ultimate strength resistance of those structures. A greater emphasis is also placed on the fundamentals, providing professionals with simple concise solutions to common structural problems. Updated code and technology information is included, as are many more illustrations, and a wealth of problems and answers for self-study.

From the Back Cover:
AN ACCESSIBLE, HIGHLY VISUAL GUIDE TO MECHANICS AND STRENGTH OF MATERIALS FOR STRUCTURAL DESIGN
This updated edition of the classic Parker/Ambrose guide introduces the basics of applied mechanics and strength of materials by combining clear explanations with fundamental practice exercises. Generously supplemented with more than 250 two- and three-dimensional illustrations, this book emphasizes visualizing concepts rather than rote learning and complex mathematics. Simplified Mechanics and Strength of Materials, Sixth Edition features:
* A study of indeterminate structures and ultimate strength resistance of structures, as well as combined forces and stresses
* Up-to-date code and technology information
* Analysis of trusses, beams, compression members, connectors for structural steel, retaining walls, and rigid frames
* An examination of noncoplanar force systems, stress and deformation, and properties of sections
* Exercise problems, with answers, that emphasize direct problem solving using basic concepts, simple analytical formulas, and logical procedures
Whether used alone or in conjunction with Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders, Ninth Edition, this book is a fundamental resource for students and professionals in architecture, landscape architecture, construction, and civil engineering.
