Theory of Structures Volume I
This book completely covers the first course on Structural Analysis/Theory of Structures offered to undergraduate civil engineering students. In this book Principle of virtual work which underlies several structural theorems has been covered in depth, Exhaustive treatment of symmetry concepts and their applications allowing full exploitation of energy concepts simplifying computations, Generalized coordinates to eliminate ambiguity in the disposition of forces and displacements. It includes in-depth coverage of important topics such as slope and deflection of beams, consistent deformation, displacement methods, moment distribution method, columns and struts.
