Structural Analysis excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and applications of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames. It empowers you to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbelers decades of classroom experience and knowledge of how students learn. Through its user-friendly, clear organization, the text helps you develop the ability to model and analyze a structure to prepare you for professional practice.
The 11th Edition in SI Units features more content on structural modeling and approximately 30% new problems that involve applications to many different fields of engineering.
