Elementary Structural Analysis

Elementary Structural Analysis by John Benson Wilbur is a comprehensive textbook that focuses on the fundamental principles and techniques of structural analysis. The book is intended for undergraduate students in civil engineering and related fields who are interested in understanding the behavior of structures under various loading conditions. The book starts with an introduction to the basic concepts of structural analysis, including the types of structures, loads, and support conditions. It then covers the analysis of statically determinate structures, such as beams, trusses, and frames, using various methods such as the method of joints, method of sections, and moment distribution method. The book also covers the analysis of statically indeterminate structures, including the use of the force method and displacement method. It includes a detailed discussion of the influence lines for determinate and indeterminate structures, as well as the analysis of continuous beams and frames. Other topics covered in the book include the analysis of shear and moment diagrams, deflection of beams and frames, and the analysis of cables and arches. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help students understand the concepts and apply them to real-world problems. Overall, Elementary Structural Analysis is an essential textbook for students of civil engineering and related fields who want to develop a strong foundation in structural analysis. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for students to follow and understand the concepts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
