Features: This book integrates the practical experiences of teaching reform in architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, construction management, and interior design from Tongji University over the years. It comprehensively synthesizes and categorizes the content of traditional theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, and structural mechanics, removing the unnecessary and retaining the essential. The book consists of sixteen chapters, with main topics including: the synthesis and equilibrium of planar force systems, spatial force systems, axial tension and compression, torsion, geometric composition analysis of planar systems, internal force analysis of statically determinate structures, stress and deformation of beams, strength calculations under combined deformation, column stability, displacement calculations of structures, the force method, displacement method, moment distribution method, influence lines and their applications, etc. This book can serve as a textbook for mechanics in architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, interior design, construction management, HVAC, building materials, environmental protection, and other related majors in higher education institutions, as well as for technical colleges and community colleges in civil engineering. It is also suitable for self-study reference by civil engineering and construction technicians.
