Applies theory to structural modeling and analysis
Structural Analysis presents the theory and applications of structural analysis as applied to trusses, beams and frames. Through its student-friendly and clear organization, it encourages the ability to model and analyze a structure in preparation for professional practice.
The 10th Edition features 30% new problems and an expanded discussion of structural modeling, particularly the importance of modeling a structure so it can be used in computer analysis. Newly added material includes an update to the ASCE/SEI 2106 specifications, a discussion of catenary cables and more.
Hallmark features of this title
- The organization and approach of the text presents a structured method for introducing each new definition or concept, making it a convenient resource for later reference and review.
- Each chapter is organized into well-defined sections that contain an explanation of specific topics, illustrative example problems and more.
- Procedures for Analysis is a unique feature that provides students with a logical and systematic method for applying theory and building problem-solving skills.
- The example problems are solved using this outlined method in order to clarify the steps needed for solution.
- Photographs throughout demonstrate how principles of structural analysis apply to real-world situations and help students visualize difficult concepts.
New and updated features of this title
- NEW: Structural modeling is discussed throughout, especially as it applies to modeling a structure for a computer analysis.
- NEW: Material has been added throughout, including an update to ASCE/SEI 2106 specifications, a discussion of catenary cables, and further clarification for drawing moment and deflection diagrams for beams and frames.
- NEW: Preliminary problems offer simple applications of concepts and help students develop problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any of the standard problems that follow.
- UPDATED: 30% new problems are designed to test students' ability to apply theory to realistic practical situations. Throughout the book there is a balance between problems using either SI or FPS units.
- UPDATED: Rewritten text material clarifies and expands upon concepts throughout the book.
- UPDATED: Illustrations throughout the text include newly added 2-color art, as well as photorealistic illustrations representing the 3-D nature of structural engineering.
