Fundamentals of Structural Analysis introduces to engineering and architecture students a range of techniques for analyzing structures, from classical methods to matrix analysis upon which modern computer analysis is based.
Throughout the text, carefully drawn figures, helpful insights, and practical examples and problems are presented as a useful guide for students (and practitioners) to learn the essential skills for analyzing structures.
