The book Structural Analysis of Structural Frames introduces civil engineering and architecture students to a series of fundamental methods required for the analysis of structures – from the most classical techniques to matrix methods underpinning modern computer-based analysis.
After an introduction to design loads, the prerequisites in knowledge and skills from the field of Statics necessary for the analysis of statically determinate structures are presented within a careful overview. Subsequently, methods for calculating deflections open the way for classical analysis methods of indeterminate structures: the flexibility method, the slope-deflection method, and the moment distribution method.
Then, approximate analysis techniques for structures are introduced, which are extremely useful in practical design. Furthermore, the concept of influence lines is examined, which find application in structures like bridges subjected to moving loads. Finally, the method of stability analysis is presented and examined in detail, particularly the direct stability method using matrix analysis.
Throughout the book, theory is complemented by detailed diagrams, helpful tips, and practical examples and problems. All of the above are tailored to the standards set by Eurocodes, making the book a very useful guide for both students and professionals seeking to learn the essential skills for structural analysis.
The teaching of the book is supported by accompanying educational material (solution of exercises and diagrams-images in ppt format).
