Features: This bilingual textbook for structural mechanics courses is adapted from the book Fundamentals of Structural Analysis. It introduces students in architecture and engineering to the basic methods for analyzing common structural members, primarily including beams, trusses, cables, and arches. It covers classical methods for analyzing statically determinate and indeterminate structures. The content on matrix analysis in the original book is generally taught together with special topics in structural mechanics in China, hence it is not included in this bilingual textbook. The book features the following:
- A dedicated chapter (Chapter 2) focusing on loads;
- Realistic and detailed illustrations;
- Close integration with design;
- Extensive use of both imperial and metric units.
- Challenging and detailed exercises;
- Precise presentation of fundamental concepts;
- A website for students and instructors.
This book is suitable as a bilingual teaching material for structural mechanics courses and is also generally appropriate as a reference for engineering and technical professionals.
