Photographs and photorealistic art illustrate how the principles of structural analysis are used in real-world practice. Real-world problem types connect theory to application Preliminary Problems offer students the chance to develop their problem-solving skills.Fundamental Problems let students check their knowledge and prepare for exams. Solutions have been provided for all the fundamental problems.Homework and Example Problems give students multiple opportunities to apply their knowledge to realistic situations. SI units have been used throughout the text, and answers provided for selected problems.

New and updated features of this title UPDATED: Re-written material provides further clarification of concepts and enhanced accuracy. Important definitions are now highlighted.UPDATED: New photos show how the principles apply to real-world situations and how materials behave under load.NEW: Material in select chapters discusses modeling a structure, drawing its deflection diagram, and applying approximate methods.NEW: Approximately 30% new problems involve applications to many different fields of engineering.UPDATED: Structural modeling is emphasized throughout, especially as it applies to modeling a structure for a computer analysis. Chapter 17 is expanded to discuss structural modeling in more detail.
