Features: This textbook is newly compiled based on the undergraduate training objectives for civil engineering majors and the teaching syllabus for Structural Mechanics, formulated by the National Advisory Committee on Civil Engineering Education of Higher Learning Institutions in November 2001. The book consists of 13 chapters, covering the following content: Introduction, Geometric Analysis of Plane Systems, Statically Determinate Beams and Frames, Three-Hinged Arches, Statically Determinate Trusses and Composite Structures, Principle of Virtual Work and Displacement Calculation of Structures, Force Method, Displacement Method, Moment Distribution Method, Influence Lines, Dynamic Calculation of Structures, Stability Calculation of Structures, Ultimate Load of Structures, etc. Each chapter includes a summary, review questions, and exercises. The answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This textbook incorporates the fundamental theories and methods of classical structural mechanics, with appropriately selected materials that meet the broad training requirements of the "general civil engineering" major while also providing carefully curated content to build a solid foundation. The book explains fundamental concepts and principles in a thorough and clear manner, emphasizing the connection between theory and practice, with numerous examples and exercises to enhance students' abilities in structural analysis and calculation. This textbook can be used as a teaching material for the Structural Mechanics course in civil engineering majors of ordinary universities and colleges (including building structures, road and bridge engineering, underground construction, and water conservancy, etc.), as well as for adult education and self-study exams. It is also a valuable reference for engineering professionals in related fields.
