New Book Announcement: Leet -- Fundamentals of Structural Analysis, 3e (Indian Reprint)

Science, Engineering & Mathematics Fundamentals of Structural Analysis third edition, introduces engineering and architectural students to the basic techniques for analyzing the most common structural elements, including beams, trusses, frames, cables, and arches. The text will cover the classical methods of analysis for determinate and indeterminate structures, and provide an introduction to the matrix formulation on which computer analysis is based. NEW TO THIS EDITION Design and layout has been improved to better illustrate example problems. Example problems are now on a two page spread, where in the past readers had to flip back and forth to follow examples. Now all the information is in one place. The Solutions Manual has been revised and checked for accuracy. The text features an Online Learning Center at http://www.mhhe.com/leet3e. FEATURES Free access to RISA software, which is beneficial since RISA is among the easiest to learn and utilize, and is a well-known analysis tool in the industry. The text contains a highly detailed, realistic art program with fully drawn, practical illustrations. Different types of structural and building codes are described. Chapter Two, Design Loads, is devoted to a comprehensive discussion of loads that include dead and live loads, tributary areas and earthquake and wind forces. Wind specifications conform to the latest edition of the ASCE standard. "Computer Problems" that require a computer solution, rather than a hand analysis, are found in various chapters. We also offer an academic version of RISA-2D software for free to adopters of the text.
