The analysis of structures and stress is the cornerstone of civil engineering and all students must obtain a thorough understanding of this area early in their studies. Based on the author’s highly successful and respected previous publication, Strength of Materials for Civil Engineers, 2nd edition, this text has been expanded to include a comprehensive overview of structural analysis, providing an accessible introduction for those with little experience of the techniques involved. Starting from an explanation of the basic principles of statics, normal and shear force, bending moments and torsion, it goes on to examine the different structures in which consideration of these is paramount; from simple trusses to statically indeterminate beams and frames. Materials’ properties are outlined, and all aspects of beam theory are examined in full detail. Virtual work, energy methods and the various different methods of analysing statically indeterminate structures are discussed in two important chapters. Influence lines and structural instability are also featured. The established style and depth of coverage of the author’s previous publications are retained, resulting in a text that will prove invaluable to undergraduate civil engineers. The numerous worked examples and problems, liberally distributed throughout the text, will appeal to all who need a thorough understanding of the subject.

First Sentence:
In the past it was common practice to teach structural analysis, or theory of structures and strength of materials as they were frequently known, as two separate subjects where, generally, structural analysis was concerned with the calculation of internal force systems and stress analysis involved the determination of the corresponding internal stresses and associated strains.
