Engineering

For courses in Structural Analysis.

This book provides students with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames. Emphasis is placed on teaching students to both model and analyze a structure. A hallmark of the text, Procedures for Analysis, has been retained in this edition to provide students with a logical, orderly method to follow when applying theory.

• NEW - Approximately 15% NEW problems.

  • Demonstrates the application of theory to practical engineering problems.

• Project problems that involve realistic structural systems—Photographs of the structure will be given; the determination of the loads will be required; the members will have to be represented by an idealized model; and the theory will be applied to obtain the reactions and construct the shear and moment diagrams.

  • These projects will give students a sense of what is required to model and then analyze an actual structure.

• Over 100 photographs dispersed throughout the book—Presents the solution of realistic applications and explanations of the theory. Some of these photos are used in the problem sets.

• Expanded Chapter 1 on loadings—Includes a more detailed discussion of loadings.

• A simple analysis of shear wall loadings.

• Enhanced use of the computer program STRAN—Includes the construction of shear and moment diagrams for frames. The program is easy to understand and use, and works in a Windows environment, rather than in DOS.

• Expanded coverage of the matrix stiffness method.

• Uses STRAN, or any other suitable structural analysis program, as a means to check the solutions of the problems.

  • Encourages students to consider computer applications earlier in the course, rather than at the end, when the Stiffness Method is covered.

• Exceptional illustrations, photographs, and design elements.

  • Enhances the realism of examples, homework problems, and explanations.

• Procedures for Analysis included in most sections of the text, along with example problems illustrating the procedures.

  • Provides a logical, method for students to follow when applying the theory presented in each section.

• Realistic engineering situations—Clearly illustrated to show the necessary geometric relations and loads.

  • Provide situations that students are likely to encounter in practice.

• Approximately 15% NEW problems.

  • Demonstrates the application of theory to practical engineering problems.
