Structural Analysis & Selected Topics

This book minimizes theoretical derivations and maximizes numerical analyses through a large number of illustrated examples. The book is divided into sixteen chapters: Chapter 1 is an introduction, Chapters 2,3, and 4 cover basic structural analysis, Chapter 5 covers the deflection analysis of determinate structures using different methods, Chapter six covers influence lines, Chapter 7 covers the analysis of three-hinged arches and cables, Chapters 8 through 11 covers the analysis methods of indeterminate structures, Chapters 12 through 15 introduce the matrix analysis methods of indeterminate structures, Chapter 16 covers the topics related to structural analysis and design calculations. Mohammed Bin Salem the author is currently an Associate Professor in the Civil Engineering department at the Qatar University. His research interests include earthquake response of structures, analytical modeling of structures, design and analysis of concrete structures.
