Introduction to Structural Analysis (eBook, ePUB)

Indeterminate Structures

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This textbook provides fundamental concepts, and a comprehensive analysis of indeterminate structures by both force and displacement methods. Major coverage includes the analysis of beams, rigid-jointed plane frames, and pin-jointed plane frames by various force and displacement methods, followed by the analysis of multi-storey frames using approximate methods, influence lines for indeterminate structures, and two-hinged arches. Each chapter contains an introduction, methodology, necessary derivations/equations, and examples.

Features:

• Discusses advanced levels of structural analysis with a focus on indeterminate structures.
• Covers approximate methods for the analysis of multi-storey frames, two-hinged arches, and influence lines for indeterminate beams.
• Separately discusses both flexibility and stiffness matrix methods for beams, rigid joint plane frames, and pin joint plane frames.
• Step-by-step procedure for solving problems in each method.
• Explains the problems with neat coloured free-body diagrams, shear force and bending moment diagrams, and probable elastic curves.
• Includes review questions and answers for numerical problems and examples.

This book is aimed at undergraduate and senior undergraduate students in structural and civil engineering.
