A perfectly balanced approach to structural analysis, including both classical techniques and computer-based analysis
In the newly revised second edition of Structural Analysis: Understanding Behavior, a distinguished civil engineer delivers yet another complete approach to the subject, expertly balancing the classical techniques of analysis with computer-based analysis experiences involving parametric studies. This important work provides students with foundational knowledge in the concepts that come from studying a subset of classical techniques, as well as an understanding of the use of structural analysis software. The author promotes the self-discovery of structural concepts and behaviors and has included video examples for each chapter, as well as parametric exercises as part of most problem sets.
