Synopsis
This book presents the principles needed to solve basic structural engineering problems in an easy-to-follow and simple manner, emphasizing engineering applications. The book provides an understanding of the basic principles of structural analysis, energy principles, concepts of loads, arches, bridges, beams, analysis of statically determinate structures, and the importance of line diagrams in analysing problems on indeterminate beams. The book takes an outcome-based learning approach, where the authors ensure that students engage with the contents of each chapter so that expected learning outcomes are achieved. Bloom’s Taxonomy has been applied while designing the contents of the book, so that students systematically learn to remember, understand, analyse, apply, evaluate and create learning.
A large number of practical problems are presented to help students get a feel for the problems encountered in the real world. The text provides large number of numerical examples in each chapter.
