Abstract:
"This text covers all major topics of structural analysis in both a qualitative and quantitative manner. An effective teaching tool for many courses at both graduate and undergraduate levels, it is also a useful resource for architects, constructors, and engineers. The presentation of physical principles founded in the field of mechanics can be used by designers and builders to understand the behavior of existing structural forms and in devising new approaches."--BOOK JACKET.
