With the first edition being published over twenty years ago, the aim of this edition remains the same which
is to place proper emphasis on the methods of matrix structural analysis used in current practice, and to provide
the groundwork for forthcoming practice and allied, more advanced subject matter. This edition features new chapters
on the nonlinear analysis of framed structures.
