For courses in structural analysis.

A proven approach to conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills

Structural Analysis excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams and frames. Emphasis is placed on developing the ability to model and analyze a structure in preparation for professional practice. It empowers students to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbeler's decades of classroom experience and knowledge of how students learn.

The 11th Edition features more content on structural modeling and approximately 30% new problems that involve applications to many different fields of engineering.

Hallmark features of this title

Key author content enhances conceptual understanding

  • Procedures for Analysis provide a logical, orderly method for analyzing general and specific problems.
  • Photographs and photorealistic art illustrate how the principles of structural analysis are used in real-world practice.

Real-world problem types connect theory to application

  • Preliminary Problems offer students the chance to develop their problem-solving skills.
  • Fundamental Problems let students check their knowledge and prepare for exams. Solutions and answers are provided.
  • Homework and Example Problems give students multiple opportunities to apply their knowledge to realistic situations. Both SI and FPS units are used, and answers are provided for selected problems.

New and updated features of this title

  • UPDATED: Re-written material provides further clarification of concepts and enhanced accuracy. Important definitions are now highlighted.
  • UPDATED: New photos show how the principles apply to real-world situations and how materials behave under load.
  • NEW: Material in select chapters discusses modeling a structure, drawing its deflection diagram, and applying approximate methods.
  • NEW: Approximately 30% new problems involve applications to many different fields of engineering.
  • UPDATED: Structural modeling is emphasized throughout, especially as it applies to modeling a structure for a computer analysis. Chapter 17 is expanded to discuss structural modeling in more detail.

Features of Mastering Engineering for the 11th Edition

  • NEW: Early Alerts use predictive analytics based on a student's work, such as correct answers on the first try. They let you identify and support struggling students as early as possible, even if their scores are not a cause for concern.
  • Tutorial homework problems emulate the instructor's office-hour environment, guiding students through concepts in multi-step problems. Wrong-answer specific feedback is given, along with optional hints to break a problem down further.
  • Adaptive Follow-ups provide extra targeted practice after a homework assignment to address gaps in understanding.
  • Video Solutions offer step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems from the text.
  • Learning Outcomes Summaries track student or class performance for learning outcomes. All assignable content has been tagged to ABET Learning Outcomes for you, or you can add your own.
