Features: This book primarily covers the statics and dynamics of structural forms such as trusses, frames, arches, and continuous beams. It elaborates on the analysis methods for internal forces, deformations, and influence lines of various structures under statically determinate and indeterminate conditions, as well as the energy principles. It introduces the fundamental knowledge of structural dynamics and the new developments in structural theory. Throughout the book, the academic philosophy of integrating theory with practice and emphasizing engineering applications is upheld. While maintaining the completeness and systematic nature of the content, special attention is given to the handling of practical engineering problems. Detailed discussions are provided on how to model frequently encountered structural forms and load conditions in engineering, how to select appropriate analysis methods, and how to verify and judge computational results. The knowledge framework of this book aligns closely with that of structural mechanics textbooks. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering studying structural mechanics and conducting structural analysis courses, as well as a technical reference for engineering professionals. ...
