To implement good analysis of such structures or building, civil engineers are encouraged to determine structural load with support reaction and displacement based on the geometry, material properties and other conditions and limitations. To get accurate solution of structural analysis, there are suggested way that should be recommended an applied approach. The basic approach is by using mechanical of materials analysis or strength of material approach. Finite element and elasticity can be other approaches.
If you do not master strength of material approach yet, it is recommended to read Beer and Johnston’s Mechanics of Materials book. As best selling reference of solid mechanics subject, this book has its superiority on its detailed explanation and presentation with helpful figures or illustration. The author of this civil engineering book provides clear key concepts to connect the theory and application in engineering fields.
Nowadays, Mechanics of Materials book becomes standard resource for undergraduate engineering students. It is recommended to learn this subject before practicing into numerical approximation.
