Book Description
The third edition of this well-accepted textbook continues in its tradition of presenting the applications of principles, with the addition of a new chapter ""Double Integration Method"" for a complete treatment on ""Analysis of Determinate Structures''. This new chapter will make the reader understand the development of deflection analysis. This book caters to the needs of the student who enters the portals of Civil Engineering Department in the second year of UG programs. It will also be useful to understand the basic principles of structural analysis, energy principles, concepts of loads, arches, bridges, beams, analysis of statically determinate structures, and importance of influence line diagrams in analyzing problems on indeterminate beams. Moreover, the book can aid solving of basic structural engineering problems in an easy-to-follow and simple manner, avoiding unnecessary mathematical gymnastics and, instead, emphasizing on the engineering applications. The book takes an outcome-based learning approach, where the authors ensure that the students engage well with the contents of each chapter and the expected learning outcomes are achieved by them. Realizing the importance for a systematic approach to problem solving, Bloom's Taxonomy has been applied while designing the contents of the book, so that the students systematically learn to remember, understand, analyze, apply, evaluate and create learning. A large number of practical problems from various university and competitive examinations, presented in the book, will help students get a feel of the problems encountered in the real world. These will also help them during taking their own examinations. Updated chapters and inclusion of a new ""Double Integration Method"" extends the scope of the book, making it suitable to postgraduate level courses as well. Every topic is illustrated with a large number of worked out numerical examples. Contains problems from university and competitive examinations. Provides exercises in every chapter in an orderly way for self-study.

Book Description
This revised and significantly expanded edition contains a rigorous examination of key concepts, new chapters and discussions within existing chapters, and added reference materials in the appendix, while retaining its classroom-tested approach to helping readers navigate through the deep ideas, vast collection of the fundamental methods of structural analysis. The authors show how to undertake the numerous analytical methods used in structural analysis by focusing on the principal concepts, detailed procedures and results, as well as taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of each method and sphere of their effective application. The end result is a guide to mastering the many intricacies of the range of methods of structural analysis. The book differentiates itself by focusing on extended analysis of beams, plane and spatial trusses, frames, arches, cables and combined structures; extensive application of influence lines for analysis of structures; simple and effective procedures for computation of deflections; introduction to plastic analysis, stability, and free and forced vibration analysis, as well as some special topics. Ten years ago, Professor Igor A. Karnovsky and Olga Lebed crafted a must-read book. Now fully updated, expanded, and titled Advanced Methods of Structural Analysis (Strength, Stability, Vibration), the book is ideal for instructors, civil and structural engineers, as well as researches and graduate and post graduate students with an interest in perfecting structural analysis.

File Size : 28,95 MB
Release : 2021-12-24
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 1000457052
Book Description
Introduction to Structural Analysis covers the principles of structural analysis without any requirement of prior knowledge of structures or equations. Beginning with basic principles of equilibrium of forces and moments, all other subsequent theories of structural analysis have been discussed logically. Divided into two major parts, this book discusses the basics of mechanics and principles of degrees of freedom upon which the entire paradigm rests, followed by analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures. The energy method of structural analysis is also included. Worked out examples are provided in each chapter to explain the concepts and solve real-life structural analysis problems along with a solutions manual. Aimed at undergraduate and senior undergraduate students in civil, structural, and construction engineering, this book: • Deals with the basic levels of structural analysis (i.e., types of structures and loads, materials and section properties up to the standard level, including analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures). • Focuses on generalized coordinate systems and Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics as an alternative method of studying the subject. • Introduces structural indeterminacy and degrees of freedom with many worked out examples. • Covers fundamentals of matrix theory of structural analysis. • Reviews energy principles and their relationship for calculating structural deflections. • Covers plastic analysis of structures.
