Structural Analysis - 2 Book by S S Bhavikatti

About the Book :
Structural Analysis-II deals in depth with the analysis of indeterminate structures, and also special topics like curved beams and unsymmetrical bending. It includes indeterminate structural analysis and provides an introduction to advanced methods of analysis, namely matrix method and plastic analysis.
Structural analysis, or the theory of structures, is an important subject for civil engineering students who are required to analyze and design structures. It is a vast field and is largely taught at the undergraduate level. A few topics like matrix method and plastic analysis are also taught at the postgraduate level and in structural engineering electives. The entire course has been covered in two volumes—Structural Analysis-I and II.
