Covering dynamics and mechanics used in architectural and structural engineering, this textbook is concerned with the relationship between motion of bodies and its causes, namely the forces acting on the bodies and the properties of the bodies (particularly mass and moment of inertia).

Explaining statics, this text is concerned with the analysis of loads (torque/moment) on physical systems in a state where relative positions of subsystems do not vary, or where structures are at a constant velocity or stable.

The 5th edition of the classic STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS by Aslam Kassamali teaches students the basic principles of structural analysis using the classical approach. The chapters are presented in a logical order, moving from an introduction of the topic to an analysis of statically determinate beams, trusses and rigid frames, to the analysis of statistically indeterminate structures. The text includes solved problems to help illustrate the fundamental concepts. Access to interactive software for analyzing plane framed structures is available for download via the text's companion website.
