The chapters are presented in a logical order, moving from an introduction of the topic to an analysis of statically determinate beams, trusses and rigid frames, to the analysis of statistically indeterminate structures. The text includes solved problems to help illustrate the fundamental concepts. Access to interactive software for analyzing plane framed structures is available for download via the text s companion website.

40 Lessons in Structural Analysis IIT Kharagpur Structural analysis and design is a very old art and is known to human beings since the early civilizations. The Pyramids constructed by Egyptians around 2000 B. C. stands today as the testimony to the skills of master builders of that civilization. Many early civilizations produced great builders, skilled craftsmen who constructed magnificent buildings such as the Parthenon at Athens (2500 years old), the great Stupa at Sanchi (2000 years old), Taj Mahal (350 years old), Eiffel Tower (120 years old) and many more buildings around the world. These monuments tell us about the great feats accomplished by these craftsmen in the analysis, design, and construction of large structures. Today we see around us countless houses, bridges, flyovers, high-rise buildings, and spacious shopping malls. Planning, analysis, and construction of these buildings is a science by itself. The main purpose of any structure is to support the loads coming on it by properly transferring them to the foundation.
Even animals and trees could be treated as structures. Indeed biomechanics is a branch of mechanics, which concerns the working of the skeleton and muscular structures. In the early periods, houses were constructed along the riverbanks using the locally available material. Download 40 Lessons in Structural Analysis free PDF Content: 1.
