Features: This book is based on the textbook of Structural Mechanics for Civil Engineering Undergraduate Programs and the basic requirements for teaching Structural Mechanics in undergraduate engineering programs. The book is divided into 11 chapters, covering the following topics: geometric composition analysis of planar systems, internal force and displacement calculations for statically determinate structures, internal force and displacement calculations for statically indeterminate structures, influence lines, dynamic calculations for structures, stability calculations for structures, and ultimate loads of structures. Each chapter summarizes and organizes the basic concepts, principles, and analytical calculation methods involved. Special emphasis is placed on providing more detailed and in-depth explanations and discussions of key and challenging content compared to general textbooks, illustrated with typical problems to demonstrate problem-solving approaches, methods, and techniques. Each chapter also provides a large number of exercises, including true/false questions, fill-in-the-blanks, multiple-choice, and analytical calculation problems, with detailed solutions provided for each to help readers master the basic principles and methods of structural mechanics and improve their analytical and computational skills. This book serves as a supplementary reading material for undergraduate students of civil engineering programs studying structural mechanics. The first eight chapters are also suitable for students in associate degree programs. The book is also available for adult education correspondence students and self-study examinees in related fields.
