Structural Analysis: Statically Determinate Structures: Vol 1

Using a general approach, this book supports the student to enable mastery of the methods of analysis of isostatic and hyperstatic structures. To show the performance of the methods of analysis of the hyperstatic structures, selected beams, gantries and reticular structures are selected and subjected to a comparative study by the different methods of analysis of the hyperstatic structures.

Salah Khalfallah is Professor at the National Polytechnic School of Constantine (ENPC), Algeria. He teaches Continuum Mechanics, Mechanical Vibrations and Finite Element Methods. His research is focused on the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of structures, the dynamics of soil–structure interactions and, since his transfer to the ENPC, biomechanics.
