Synopsis

The fourth edition of this comprehensive textbook combines and develops concurrently both classical and matrix based methods of structural analysis. The book, already renowned for its clarity and thoroughness, has been made even more transparent and complete. The book opens with a new chapter on the analysis of statically determinate structures, intended to provide a better preparation of students. A major new chapter on non-linear analysis has been added. Throughout the fourth edition more attention is given to the analysis of three-dimensional spatial structures. The book now contains over 100 worked examples and more than 350 problems with solutions. This is a book of great international renown, as shown by the translation of the previous edition into four languages.

About this title

Review

'This book has much to commend it. It will be of use to a student as a standard work on indeterminate structures. The work will also be of interest to an older engineer who studied his theory of structures before matrix methods were introduced. The book will enable him to see the relations between the new and old methods and bridge the gap between the two.' - Magazine of Concrete Reasearch 'A virtual encyclopaedia of structural analysis' - Choice 'Undoubtedly one of the best and most comprehensive books written on the subject' - Endeavour 'The book is exemplary and stimulating for the future shaping of education in structural analysis.' Der Bauingenieur (translation from German)
