Description
Structural Mechanics has become, in the last ten years, an extremely successful, and widely adopted text for first year students of Engineering and Building.
This second edition has been extended to cover the major part of the Structural Mechanics/Analysis syllabuses of most Civil Engineering courses up to the end of second year level. Five new programmes have been added, and other sections modified, to make this the premier text in its field. Using a distinctive programmed learning format, it allows the student to work at their own pace, and assess their progress through the use of carefully constructed questions and graded practical problems. In this updated form, Structural Mechanics, Second Edition, will continue to meet the needs of a further generation of students.
