Paperback. Advancing computer technology has created new opportunities for sophisticated assessment and analysis of structural performance, especially using matrix and finite element methods. This textbook employs these methods using sophisticated computational techniques through simple step-by-step processes.It covers the fundamentals required in any approach to structural analysis, strong form, equilibrium, and compatibility and includes an introduction to virtual work principles to express equilibrium and compatibility conditions of a frame structure, making use of Tonti diagrams. It shows how to construct a master stiffness matrix using an approach based on a system without rigid body modes. It then sets out in more detail the matrix approach to structural analysis, including the construction of the master stiffness matrix.This textbook is essential for senior undergraduates and graduate students and is also useful for consulting engineers. Computing empowers the assessment and analysis of structural performance, especially using matrix and finite element methods. This textbook for advanced students covers the fundamentals of structural analysis and with an introduction to virtual work principles, then sets out the matrix approach.

About the Author
Suchart Limkatanyu is Full Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Prince of Songkla University in Thailand. He earned his B.Eng (with distinction) from the Prince of Songkla University in 1996 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 2002. Prof. Limkatanyu’s research covers a variety of topics in structural engineering and applied mechanics with emphasis on computational mechanics of solids and structures. His research interests include seismic analysis, design, and retrofitting of bridges; nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and steel structures under static and dynamic loading; soil–pile interactions; and earthquake engineering.
Prof. Limkatanyu is considered one of the pioneers in formulating a consistent force-based frame model for nonlinear analyses of frame structures, and his publication on this model has been highly cited in the literature. Stemming from reinforced concrete frame models with bond interfaces, Prof. Limkatanyu developed a novel finite frame element to investigate the failure behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with steel and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plates, and several researchers have subsequently adopted this model as a reference. In addition to structural-engineering problems, Prof. Limkatanyu has conducted research work on geotechnical engineering problems. Numerous soil-shallow foundation and soil–pile foundation models were proposed by him.
Recently, Prof. Limkatanyu has expanded his research interests to the field of nanotechnology and smart materials and has proposed several structural models (e.g. bar, beam, plate) with the inclusion of small-scale and surface effects inherent to nano-sized structures. These structural models have found a broad spectrum of modern applications in engineering and science such as bionanoactuators, nanosensors, nanowires, nanoprobes, and graphene sheets. Prof. Limkatanyu has over 20 years of experience of teaching Matrix Structural Analysis to graduate students. Based on his above-mentioned research work and teaching experience, he unified these two ingredients and put them together into his unique textbook on Matrix Analysis of Frame Structures. Furthermore, Prof. Limkatanyu also authored a mathematical book titled Introduction to the Calculus of Variations.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. All books within the US ship free of charge. Delivery is 4-14 business days anywhere in the United States.
