Features: This book is revised based on the "Basic Requirements for Teaching of Structural Mechanics Courses in Engineering Undergraduate Programs of Higher Education" approved by the State Education Commission in May 1995, as a third edition. The content is appropriately selected, presented in an accessible manner, emphasizes practical application, and strives to meet the current requirements of teaching reform. The book consists of seventeen chapters, published in two volumes. The first volume contains twelve chapters, including: Introduction, Geometric Composition Analysis of Plane Systems, Internal Force Calculation of Statically Determinate Structures, Virtual Work Principle and Structural Displacement Calculation, Force Method, Displacement Method, Approximate Methods, Influence Lines and Their Applications, and Matrix Displacement Method. The second volume contains five chapters, including: Energy Principles, Elastic Stability Calculation of Structures, Dynamic Calculation of Structures, Ultimate Load Calculation of Structures, and Structural Calculation Schemes and Simplified Analysis. Each chapter is followed by discussion questions and exercises, with answers to most exercises provided. This edition adopts the symbols specified in the National Standard GB3100～3102-93 "Quantities and Units". This book can be used as a textbook for civil engineering, water conservancy, and road and bridge majors in higher education institutions, as well as for adult education and self-study examinations. It can also serve as a reference for relevant professional engineering technicians.
