Analysis of Structures

This textbook is for the undergraduate and first year graduate students in the civil engineering department. The book is used in teaching three courses in structural analysis. The book offers the classical and modern matrix methods for the analysis of the statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures. The book enables the student to understand the topics of three courses by including 180 examples solved by different methods. This will enable the student to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
