The Elementary Principles of Graphic Statics offers practical, exam‑oriented methods for learning how to read and draw force diagrams.

This clear, step‑by‑step guide teaches graphic arithmetic, similar triangles, and the use of force diagrams to analyze beams, trusses, and roofs with confidence.

Designed for students of science and technical studies, it emphasizes a visual approach to structural analysis. Through explained concepts, worked examples, and explicit procedures, you’ll build hands‑on skills that apply to real design problems and examinations.

Master graphic arithmetic and proportional reasoning to simplify complex quantities.
Learn to construct and interpret force diagrams, reactions, and moments for beams and girders.
Apply the funicular polygon and other graphic tools to roof trusses and framed structures.
Work through examples and end‑of‑chapter problems to reinforce understanding and test readiness.

Ideal for readers preparing for Building Construction, Machine Construction, Drawing, and Applied Mechanics examinations, as well as anyone seeking a solid foundation in graphic statics.
