Synopsis

This book presents a unified approach to the analysis of structures by combining classical and matrix methods of analysis. It is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of structural analysis and to develop intuitive perception in students. Several simplifying analytical techniques taught in European schools are discussed here. The advantages and limitations of various methods, and the differences in their approaches are discussed in detail. Contents: Introduction Structural indeterminacy Energy principles Deflections in statically determinate beams Deflections in statically determinate trusses Statically indeterminate beams Statically indeterminate trusses Statically indeterminate frames Iterative methods Approximate methods Symmetry and antimetry Deflections in indeterminate structures Cables and arches Influence lines for determinate structures Influence lines for statically indeterminate structures Rolling loads Space trusses Column analogy Matrix methods Matrix analysis of indeterminate trusses Matrix analysis of indeterminate beams Matrix analysis of frames Appendices References Index
