There are approximately 30% new problems in this edition, all developed to test the student Answers to Selected Problems. The answers to selected problems are provided in the back of the book. This edition includes even more Fundamental Problems to offer students simple applications of the concepts, and provide them with the chance to develop their problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any of the standard problems that follow. These problem sets are selectively located just after the example problems. The fundamental problems can be considered as extended examples, since they all have partial solutions and answers given in the back of the book. When assigned, these problems offer students an excellent means of preparing for exams, and they can be used at a later time as a review when studying for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. Procedures for Analysis. This feature provides students with a logical and orderly method for applying the theory and building problem solving skills. Example Problems. All of the example problems are presented in a concise manner and in a style that is easy to understand. Organisation. Each chapter is organised into well-defined sections that contain an explanation of specific topics, illustrative example problems, and a set of homework problems that are located at the end of the chapter and arranged in approximate order of increasing difficulty. Many photographs are used throughout the book to explain how the principles of structural analysis apply to real-world situations. Illustrations. Two-colour art and photorealistic illustrations provide a strong connection to the 3-D nature of structural engineering.
