Structural Analysis-I

This book, Structural Analysis-I, is a revised edition of the book Structural Analysis Volume-I, and it covers the basics of structural analysis measurements of deflection, various types of deflections,loads and influence lines, etc. This book is a prequel to my book Structural Analysis-II. Both the volumes together cover the complete course requirements usually taught in two semesters for under-graduate students in almost all universities.In this book, SI units have been used throughout along with standard notations. One of the highlights of the book is the simple and systematic presentation of concepts. A large number of examples and problems have been incorporated for the benefit of the students.The diagrams and calculations have been improved upon in this revised edition.

1. Systematic explanation of concepts and underlying theory in each chapter

2. Numerous solved problems presented methodically

3. University examination questions solved

4. A set of exercise to check the student’s understanding of concepts
