About this title

Synopsis

Master the fundamentals of engineering with a classic reference on statics, dynamics, and hydraulic principles.

This comprehensive volume covers the mechanics of solids, the strength and elasticity of beams and arches, and the practical applications of hydraulics and pneumatics for students and practitioners alike. Rich in proven methods and example-driven explanations, it helps readers understand how structures bear loads, resist movement, and perform under real-world conditions.

The text blends core theory with hands-on insights, including discussions of friction, joints, and stability in masonry arches, plus practical tests and measurements used in the field. It also surveys open-channel flow, pipe systems, and power and propulsion topics, making it a durable reference for those studying technical subjects or working in construction, design, or water engineering.

Clear explanations of statics, kinetics, and material behavior for beams, columns, arches, and other members
Practical treatment of hydraulics, pneumatics, and fluid forces in pipes and channels
Illustrated discussions of joints, pressures, and stability in masonry and structural elements
Examples and test methods that connect theory to real engineering problems

Ideal for learners and professionals seeking a solid foundation in engineering mechanics and its applications to construction and fluid systems.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
