Book, Structural Analysis Using Clás Methods and Matrix Methods 4/09[LS]

Structural Analysis - Using Classical Methods and Matrix Methods is an introduction to elementary structural analysis. It is mainly aimed at civil engineering, architecture and construction students. However, sufficient information is included for an additional course at the extension or postgraduate level. Most of the proposed problems have been revised and their number has increased substantially. Classical methods (lines of influence, conjugate beam analysis for transverse displacements, and approximate methods and moment distribution for statically indeterminate structures) are included in this edition. Matrix methods and computational applications have made many of the old "classical" methods of structural analysis redundant. Matrix methods and structural analysis software such as SAP2000 are the tools that most engineers use in practice today. Several of the old "classical" methods were included as they provide an excellent idea of ​​the behavior of structures subjected to variable loading. These methods also provide students with an alternative resource for confirming the validity of computer-generated data. The following classic methods are included: influence lines; conjugate beam analysis for transverse displacements; approximate methods and transverse displacement rotation for statically indeterminate structures.
