  • More about Examples in Structural Analysis


Examples in Structural Analysis, third edition, provides step-by-step solutions to structural analysis problems, with detailed information on methods and results. It emphasizes the use of hand-methods for preliminary design and an independent check on computer analysis. The book also covers the analysis and design of cables and arches subjected to concentrated loads and uniformly distributed loads, and includes an expanded chapter on influence lines.

This third edition of Examples in Structural Analysis employs a step-by-step approach, offering an extensive collection of fully worked and graded examples for a diverse range of structural analysis problems. It provides comprehensive details on the methodologies employed to solve problems, along with the corresponding results obtained. Additionally, the text encompasses a summary of each principal analysis technique inherent in the design process, where applicable, accompanied by an explanation of the mathematical models utilized.

The text underscores the importance of using software only when designers possess a sufficient level of knowledge and understanding regarding the mathematical assumptions, modeling, and limitations inherent in the programs they employ. It establishes the practice of employing hand-methods for obtaining approximate solutions during the preliminary design phase and conducting an independent check on the answers derived from computer analysis.

What is New in the Third Edition:

A new chapter has been dedicated to the analysis and design of cables and arches subjected to concentrated loads and uniformly distributed loads. For cables without or with simply supported pinned trusses or steel girder beams through equally spaced hangers, tension forces, support reactions, sags, and slopes in cables are determined. For two-pinned or three-pinned arches with parabolic, arched, and semi-circular shapes, axial forces, radial shear forces, and bending moments at various sections of arches are determined. An existing chapter has been expanded to cover the construction and usage of influence lines for pin-pointed trusses and lattice girders. Furthermore, the chapter Direct Stiffness Methods has undergone a revision and amendment.
