Intermediate Structural Analysis

Intermediate Structural Analysis By C.K. Wang McGraw-Hill International Editions, Civil Engineering Series

A classic, widely respected text on structural analysis, long regarded by engineers and students for how thoroughly it explains concepts and how carefully its examples are chosen. It builds from the fundamentals of determinate structures through to indeterminate analysis and matrix-based methods, giving equal attention to classical hand-calculation techniques and the numerical approaches that underlie modern structural software. Exercise problems are known for being non-repetitive and genuinely testing understanding rather than rote procedure, while the writing itself stays clear enough that most concepts can be grasped through careful reading alone.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Force method vs. displacement method

• Deflection of statically determinate beams, frames, and trusses

• Analysis of statically indeterminate beams and rigid frames by the force method

• The three-moment equation

• Slope-deflection method

• Moment-distribution method

• Matrix displacement methods for trusses, beams, and rigid frames

• Influence lines and moving loads

• Approximate methods of multistory-frame analysis

• Beams on elastic foundations

Key features:

• Long-standing classic, still referenced decades after its original publication

• Thorough conceptual explanations paired with carefully chosen worked examples

• Strong bridge between classical hand methods and matrix/computer-based analysis

• Exercise problems noted for being challenging and non-repetitive

• Comprehensive scope at roughly 790 pages, covering nearly every core structural analysis topic

Perfect for:

• Civil engineering students studying structural analysis at an intermediate level

• Students transitioning from basic statics to indeterminate structural analysis

• Students needing a foundation in matrix methods before computer-based structural software

• Practicing structural engineers keeping a classic reference on hand
