Examines computerized structural analysis methods for buildings, bridges, and other structures, with special
emphasis on current practices.
Covers the stiffness analysis of frames, the flexibility method, virtual work principles, special analysis
procedures, and more.
Defines the terminology, coordinate systems, and fundamental concepts of structural behavior, laying the foundation
for the study of more advanced treatments such as the finite element method.
