DESCRIPTION
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the principles of structural analysis and structural design. Emphasizing fundamental
concepts, the author reinforces ideas through a combination of limited versatile classical techniques and numerical methods. The
discussion of structural analysis and structural design including optimum design are strongly linked through an abundance of analysis
and design examples. The addition of computer software enhances the understanding of the engineering principles as well as the
S. D. Rajan is the author of Introduction to Structural Analysis & Design, published by Wiley.

• Emphasis on a limited number of powerful classical techniques along with an early transition from classical to numerical
techniques.
• Early introduction of computer modeling and usage so students can check hand-calculations with computer results.
