5.0 out of 5 stars
I dont know who gave this book 2 stars, but it's actually a REALLY good book
I have many structural analysis textbooks and I can say this is one of the better ones. If you are trying to understand structures, this book will help. It has examples that are unique in that they explain the philosophy behind structures- which is more important that any numbers

Disappointment from Wang & Salmon
This book was extremely difficult to understand in comparison to some of Salmon's other texts, such as Steel Structures: Design and Behavior. This text lacks a thorough explanation of problems. From a student's perspective or a first time learner's, this is not the best choice. Hibbler has a much better book on Structural Analysis with helpful examples and diagrams...

Disappointment from Wang & Salmon,
By "gsi13902" (Statesboro, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introductory Structural Analysis (Paperback)
This book was extremely difficult to understand in comparison to some of Salmon's other texts, such as Steel Structures: Design and Behavior. This text lacks a thorough explanation of problems. From a student's perspective or a first time learner's, this is not the best choice. Hibbler has a much better book on Structural Analysis with helpful examples and diagrams. This book expects students to work extremely difficult problems at the end of the chapter without working any examples of similar difficulty. For professors, this book does offer real to life problems that are complex and challenging, but another text may be needed to explain underlying concepts (e.g. influence lines).
