Introduction to Structural Analysis & Design

This book is an introductory text on structural analysis and structural design. While the emphasis is on fundamental concepts, the ideas are reinforced through a combination of limited versatile classical techniques and numerical methods. Structural analysis and structural design including optimal design are strongly linked through design examples. Included computer software enhances the learning experience.

S. D. Rajan is the author of Introduction to Structural Analysis & Design, published by Wiley.
