Structural Analysis offers well-explained worked solutions which complement the discussed theory, allowing students to understand the logic behind the solution. This book covers the full breadth of this core topic including detailed chapter on Finite Element Analysis.
Structural Analysis raises the readers’ overall awareness of structural and material non-linearity and equips students with the ability to demonstrate the influence of non-linearity on structural analysis
