The book is designed to provide worked examples and develop the problem solving skills of students. It has been comprehensively revised in order to meet the needs of present day examination pattern of universities and competitive examinations. The presentation passes from elementary to more complex cases for a variety of structural elements subject to practical conditions of loading and support.
