Strength and Deformation of Statically Indeterminate Structures

Strength and Deformation of Statically Indeterminate Structures

This is a comprehensive textbook, covering all the important topics under indeterminate structures. This book departs from the conventional practice of giving all theories in one place followed by a plethora of solved problems, and instead presents each theory followed by solved problems pertaining to that theory. This helps the students to understand each theory and its applications in a better manner. Wherever a problem can be solved by several methods, it has been solved by different alternative methods to highlight the salient features of each of the methods used. _x000D_Prabhat Kumar started teaching Civil Engineering in an Australian university and also obtained field experience while working with a consulting engineers group in Melbourne, Victoria. Dr Kumar started teaching Civil Engineering in India in former Roorkee University. Subsequently, he joined a national research institute to do building research. He has authored nearly one hundred papers on various topics concerning buildings in refereed international and national journals as well as in international and national conferences of various descriptions. _x000D_•Analysis of Beams with Fixed Ends_x000D_ •Analysis of Continuous Beams_x000D_ •Strain Energy Methods_x000D_ •Analysis of Two–Hinge Arches_x000D_ •Cables and Suspension Bridge_x000D_ •Influence Line Diagrams for Indeterminate Beams_x000D_ •Plastic Analysis of Structures_x000D_ •Consistent Deformation Method (Force Method)_x000D_ •Slope–Deflection Method_x000D_ •Moment Distribution Method_x000D_ •Displacement (Stiffness) Method of Structural Analysis_x000D_ •Displacement (Stiffness) Matrix Method for Pin–Jointed Frames_x000D_ •Displacement (Stiffness) Matrix Method for Beams_x000D_ •Analysis of Plane Frames by Stiffness Method_x000D_ •Appendices_x000D_ •Bibliography_x000D_
