Structural Analysis

As the author Hibbler does in all of his textbooks, there is little to no explanation surrounding the theory of the topics. 20% of the textbook is explanation of the topics, while the rest of the textbook contains examples and problems. Many of the problems are much more complex than the examples given, but if you have a good professor for the class, you should be alright. That being said, Hibbler does a good job of depicting all of the structural analysis methods in a very simple, easy-to-understand way. Therefore if you read this textbook, you will learn a lot, especially simple and short cut ways to solve structural analysis problems. Providing students with a presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames, this book emphasises on teaching students to both model and analyze a structure. Procedures for Analysis, Hibbeler's problem solving methodologies, provide students with a method to follow when applying theory. Featuring over 100 photographs this text includes project problems that involve realistic structural systems. These projects give students a sense of what is required to model and then analyze an actual structure
