DESCRIPTION:
This book should be of interest to students in departments of civil engineering taking courses in matrix structural analysis or advanced structures.. Theory is illustrated using two and three dimensional trusses, beams and frames, with emphasis on the theory of the solution. This introductory text will enable readers to understand and predict the static response of structures. The text includes many examples (with annotations) which follow the theoretical developments and a comprehensive appendix on matrix algeb
"The frequent examples are carefully chosen to illustrate specific points and, to highlight the particular concepts introduced, each example is followed up with a discussion section." -- The Structural Engineer
Excellent By Outstanding Prof. Robert Excellent treatment of 2D and 3D. Good discussions and examples. Recommended for students, engineers, and authors (How to write a Finite Element text).. A Customer said Short but well stuffed. It is a very good, albeit succinct, reference on the direct stiffness method. Very useful for review or a quick reference. I used it as pocket TA during Prof. Filippou CE "Short but well stuffed" according to A Customer. It is a very good, albeit succinct, reference on the direct stiffness method. Very useful for review or a quick reference. I used it as pocket TA during Prof. Filippou CE 220 course, even if the course covered a wider range of topics..

"Good Beginner Reference" according to Nate0080. This Book walks you through the basics of Matrix Analysis, good for late undergrad classes when structures become too complex to analyze by hand. Well laid out and easy to understand with plenty of examples.
