Structural Analysis is designed as a textbook for undergraduate students of civil engineering for a two-semester course. The book provides a balanced coverage of concepts, basic definitions, and analytical techniques in the field of structural analysis. Beginning with the basic topics such as loads and forms of structures, analysis and deflection of simple beams, and strain energy theorems, the book discusses specific analysis methods for statically indeterminate structures, such as slope deflection, moment distribution, and Kani's methods. It also discusses certain advanced topics such as finite element method, plastic analysis of structures, and beams on elastic foundation. The book contains a large number of worked-out examples and problems, which will encourage independent problem solving among the readers. Undergraduate students of engineering as well as practising professionals would find this book extremely useful due to its exhaustive coverage of analysis techniques.
