This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States. Introduces the course concepts with a focus on problem-solving and practical application The organization and approach of the text presents a structured method for introducing each new definition or concept, and makes the book a convenient resource for later reference and review. Each chapter is organized into well-defined sections that contain an explanation of specific topics, illustrative example problems, and, at the end of the chapter, a set of relevant homework problems. Procedures for Analysis is a unique feature that provides students with a logical and systematic method for applying theory and building problem-solving skills. The example problems are solved using this outlined method in order to clarify the steps needed for solution. NEW! Structural modeling is discussed throughout, especially as it applies to modeling a structure for a computer analysis. UPDATED! Rewritten text material clarifies and expands upon concepts throughout the book. NEW! Material has been added throughout, including a discussion of catenary cables, and further clarification for drawing moment and deflection diagrams for beams and frames. Photographs throughout the book demonstrate how principles of structural analysis apply to real-world situations and help students visualize difficult concepts. EXPANDED! Illustrations throughout the text include newly added two-color art, as well as photorealistic illustrations representing the 3-D nature of structural engineering. A rigorous Triple Accuracy Checking review of the 10th SI edition includes the author’s review of all content, as well as the following individuals checking the text: - Kurt Norlin, Bittner Development Group - Kai Beng Yap, a practicing engineer - J.H. Lee, a practicing engineer - Pavel Kolmakov and Daria Zamiusskaya, Computentum The SI edition was reviewed by three additional reviewers. Help students think critically and put theory into practice End-of-chapter review summarizes chapter content and accompanies each important point with the chapter’s relevant equation and art. EXPANDED! This edition includes many new problems, designed to test students’ ability to apply theory to realistic practical situations. All units are SI units. - Answers to selected problems are listed in the back of the text. - Example problems are presented in a concise, easy-to-understand manner. - NEW! Preliminary problems offer simple applications of concepts and help students develop problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any of the standard problems that follow.
