Features: This book is part of the "Simplified Design Series." It provides fundamental guidance for analyzing general structures using basic principles of mechanics, with a focus on fundamental concepts and methods of analysis and design. This is the ninth edition of the original book. In response to the rapid changes in reference standards, design, and construction practices, new content has been added to the previous edition, including an expanded section on building system examples in Part 6 and additional information on the performance of columns, frames, and beams. The content is presented in a simple and clear manner, making it easy to understand even for individuals with limited mathematical knowledge or a lack of an engineering background. This book is suitable for reference by architects and contractors, as well as serving as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students in related fields.
