Introduction to Structural Analysis: Displacement and Force Methods

Introduction to Structural Analysis: Displacement and Force Methods 

S. T. MAU

Preference :

There are two new developments in the last 30 years in the civil engineering curricula that have a direct bearing on the design of the content of a course in structural analysis: the reduction of credit hours to three required hours in structural analysis in most civil engineering programs and the increasing gap between what is taught in textbooks and classrooms and what is being practiced in engineering firms. The former is brought about by the recog- nition of civil engineering educators that structural analysis as a required course for all civil engineering majors need not cover in great detail all the analytical methods. The latter is certainly the result of the ubiquitous appli- cations of personal digital computers and handheld devices.
