Structural Analysis Tapa dura - 1998

Información de la editorial

This book provides students with 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 teaching students to both model and analyse a structure. A hallmark of the text, Procedures for Analysis, has been retained in this edition to provide students with a logical, orderly method to follow when applying theory. *NEW - Approximately 15% NEW problems. - Example problems demonstrate the application of theory to practical engineering problems. *NEW - Project Problems that involve realistic structural systems. These projects will give students a sense of what is required to model and then analyze an actual structure. - Photographs of the structure will be given. - The determination of the loads will be required. - The members will have to be represented by an idealized model. - The theory will be applied to obtain the reactions and construct the shear and moment diagrams. *NEW - Over 100 photographs dispersed throughout the book present the solution of realistic applications and explanations of the theory. Some of these photos are used in the problem sets. *NEW - Expands Chapter 1 on loading
