Fundamentals of Structural Analysis

Why is it essential to learn fundamental of structural analysis and design book for civil and architecture engineers, including program or software? In fact, there are various basic concepts and techniques including latest methods in subject of structural analysis design for analyzing various building, bridges or structural elements with particular loading, based on geometry shape, supports, conditions and material properties such as beams, trusses, frames, cables, and arches.

But it is not easy to master fundamental of structural analysis because this subject requires you to have good physical and mathematics background so you are able to incorporate it with analysis of mechanics and dynamics. Yes, this analysis involves failure theories, internal force, displacements and stress computation so you can examine the response and stability of structural building as well as the behavior under certain structural loads.

This fundamental of structural analysis and design book, 3rd edition written by Kenneth Leet, Chia-Ming Uang and Anne Gilbert is designed to help you get better understanding about analytical methods including the limitations by implementing strength of material, slope deflection, moment distribution and numerical analysis methods for matrix methods analysis. In fact, this reference helps and guides the readers to know how to get better technical decision about structural analysis.

This structural analysis and design book can be considered as best reference to practice your ability for getting approximated solution in structural analysis. For advanced analysis, it is highly recommended to learn advanced methods, using finite element analysis by using help of structural analysis program or software.
