Opis

Structural Mechanics has become, in the last ten years, an extremely successful, and widely adopted text for first year students of Engineering and Building.
This second edition has been extended to cover the major part of the Structural Mechanics/Analysis syllabuses of most Civil Engineering courses up to the end of second year level. Five new programmes have been added, and other sections modified, to make this the premier text in its field. Using a distinctive programmed learning format, it allows the student to work at their own pace, and assess their progress through the use of carefully constructed questions and graded practical problems. In this updated form, Structural Mechanics, Second Edition, will continue to meet the needs of a further generation of students.

Blurb

This second edition of Structural Mechanics is an expanded and revised successor to the highly successful first edition, which over the last ten years has become a widely adopted standard first year text. The addition of five new programmes, together with some updating of the original text, now means that this book covers most of the principles of structural mechanics taught in the first and second years of civil engineering degree courses.

· Suitable for independent study or as a compliment to a traditional lecture-based course
· Adopts a programmed learning format, with a focus on student-centred learning
· Contains many examples, carefully constructed questions and graded practical problems, allowing the reader to work at their own pace, and assess their progress whilst gaining confidence in their ability to apply the principles of Structural Mechanics
· Now covering the major part of the Structural Mechanics/Analysis syllabuses of most Civil Engineering degree courses up to second year level.
