"Fundamentals of Structural Analysis, third edition" introduces engineering and architectural students to the basic techniques for analyzing the most common structural elements, including beams, trusses, frames, cables, and arches. Leet et al cover the classical methods of analysis for determinate and indeterminate structures, and provide an introduction to the matrix formulation on which computer analysis is based. Third edition users will find that the text's layout has improved to better illustrate example problems, superior coverage of loads is give in Chapter 2 and over 25 per cent of the homework problems have been revised or are new to this edition.

Excellent text,

This review is from: Fundamentals of Structural Analysis w/OLC & Bind-in Subscription Card (Hardcover)
I was given this text by the publisher. Ordinarily "every structural analysis text is the same" and there is no reason to change texts. But not this time. I am truly impressed by this text. It is very broad, in the sense that it manages to teach classical structural analysis while always relating it well to real world problems. It even manages to make the current IBC code understandable (which is amazing because that book is utterly unreadable). This is an excellent text

structural analysis,
This review is from: Fundamentals of Structural Analysis (Hardcover)
This book goes into detail about the fundementals of structural analysis but the expamples and explanations can be a bit tricky. They do not show the work done but just show the final product. The examples are not outlined and are not thoroughly explained in detail.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great product,
