Structural Analysis in SI Units (9th Edition)

Description

Pearson brings to you the ninth edition of Structural Analysis in complete SI Units. The book excels in providing students with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames. Emphasis is placed on teaching students to both model and analyzes a structure. This text is shaped by the comments and suggestions of hundreds of reviewers in the teaching profession, as well as many of the author’s students.

Key Features

• NEW! Chapter on Structural Modeling and Computer Analysis
  Discussion on the failure of recent structures
• UPDATED Fundamental Problems. This edition includes more Fundamental Problems to offer students simple applications of the concepts and provide them with the chance to develop their problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any of the standard problems that follow
• NEW Problems. There are approximately 30% new problems in this edition, all developed to test the students
• Additional Photos and Expanded Art to help students visualize the subject matter, additional photos and an expanded art program depict the realistic applications of structural elements.
