Structural Analysis: A Matrix Approach

This is a comprehensive and up-to-date text suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students. It assumes only an elementary knowledge of structural mechanics, briefly but lucidly discusses fundamental concepts of structural analysis and systematically presents the two main methods of matrix analysis of structures. A novel feature is the combined discussion of the two methods for each category of structures. The book contains 159 worked examples and 205 unsolved problems with answers, is thoroughly illustrated, and includes useful references. It should prove a valuable text to civil engineering students and a handy reference to structural engineers.
