Product Description

This textbook aims to encompasses the full range of material covered in undergraduate courses in Structures in departments of Civil and Mechanical Engineering. The approach taken integrates a qualitative approach looking at the physical reality of phenomena with a quantitative approach one that models the physical reality mathematically. It looks at different types of structures from the commonplace, such as chairs and aeroplanes, and the historically significant, such as the Pont du Gard in southern France, through to modern and novel structures such as the Bank of China building in Hong Kong with a view to enthusing the reader into further study.

I bought this book to help me with structural analysis.i dont think it is a good book since it does not have many examples and since it tries to cober so many methods,even finite elements,seismic analysis, you can understand that it does not give much info for any of it's chapters.the only useful is the good references it gives
