Introduction to Structural Analysis & Design

by S.D. Rajan

This book is a comprehensive introduction to the principles of structural analysis and structural design. Emphasizing fundamental concepts, the author reinforces ideas through a combination of limited versatile classical techniques and numerical methods. The discussion of structural analysis and structural design including optimum design are strongly linked through an abundance of analysis and design examples. The addition of computer software enhances the understanding of the engineering principles as well as the learning of the use of computer-based tools.
