Abstract

Explains the principles of structural analysis and provides practical examples and solutions. Part one focuses on determinate structures, establishing the principles of statics, then going on to examine statically determinate pin-jointed frames, elements in flexure, elastic deformations, influence lines and space frames. Part two covers indeterminate structures, looking at statical indeterminacy, virtual work methods, indeterminate pin-jointed frames, conjugate beam methods, influence lines, elastic centre and column analogy methods, moment distribution methods, model analysis, plastic analysis and design, matrix and computer methods, elastic instability and elastic-plastic analysis.
