Analysis Structure  (English, Paperback, Vazirani V N)

Analysis of Structures Volume 2 is a comprehensive book for undergraduate civil engineering and architecture students. The book follows up from volume 1 and as a set these books discuss the deflection of determinate structures, helping students understand the principle of virtual work, the method of virtual forces, pin jointed plane frames and the deflections of beams, rigid plane frames and trusses. The book discusses slope deflection, moment distribution and the matrix flexibility and stiffness methods to help students understand how structures are designed and analysed. The explanations are concise and lucid, helping students grasp the theory with ease. It helps form the foundation required for students to understand how computational analysis can help the field, and gives them a vast number of solved and unsolved questions to practice with. The book is an indispensable resource for all GATE aspirants.
