Strength and Deformation of Statically Indeterminate Structures

by Kumar Prabhat

This helps the students to understand each theory and its applications in a better manner. Wherever a problem can be solved by several methods, it has been solved by different alternative methods to highlight the salient features of each of the methods used.
