Exhaustive in its coverage, the book provides a firm foundation of the underlying concepts in the field of structural analysis and also imparts a modern flavour by including topics that are of relevance to present day engineers. The text is interspersed with a large number of solved examples, 'try out' exercises and chapter-end problems to test understanding of concepts.
