Areas and centroids of geometric shapes. Appendix B. Review of matrix algebra. Appendix C. Computer software. Appendix D. Three-moment equation; COECS; COECS N2 - Teaches students the basic principles of structural analysis using the classical approach. This book includes chapters that are presented in a logical order, moving from an introduction of the topic to an analysis of statically determinate beams, trusses and rigid frames, to the analysis of statistically indeterminate structures.
