Abstract:
This book is a compilation of lectures delivered by the author to tp.e Civil Engineering
students wherein internationally recognized books on the topic were followed with an
entirely changed approach thus making it easy to understand the procedure for the solution
of indeterminate structures. The book is useful for the undergraduate students taking a
course on classic.al indeterminate structural analysis. No lengthy derivations are given and
emphasis is on application. Method of Rotation. Contribution, which is an extension of
, moment distribution method, has been added. All forces in parallel chord trusses have been.
determined by the "Method of moments and Shears" which has been developed as an
extension of method of sections in the first chapter. The emphasis is on explaining the basic
concepts and their comprehension by the students and therefore only very few typically
. select~d problems have been solved in steps in most of the cases to establish that structura1
anslysis follows a routine set of steps. No extra unsolved problems have been given in this
edition of book, which may be added in subsequent editions if demanded by the readers. It is
hoped that the effort shall be appreciated and more people would like to write books .on
structural analysis. Readers are especially requested to forward their suggestions for future
improvements to the publisher.
