This book presents a thorough exposition of the basic concepts and methods involved in structural engineering. Starting with a lucid account of Consistent Deformation, the book explains the Slope Deflection and Moment Distribution methods. Equations of Kani's methods are explained next, followed by a detailed account of Distribution of Deformation and Column Analogy method. The book concludes with a thorough description of Indeterminate Structures. The various principles and techniques are illustrated with suitable solved examples throughout the book. Numerous practice problems have also been included. With its simple and systematic approach, the book would serve as an ideal text for both degree and diploma students of civil engineering. AMIE candidates and practising engineers would also find it extremely useful.
