This textbook provides fundamental concepts, and a comprehensive analysis of indeterminate structures by both force and displacement methods. Major coverage includes the analysis of beams, rigid-jointed plane frames, and pin-jointed plane frames by various force and displacement methods, followed by the analysis of multi-storey frames using approximate methods, influence lines for indeterminate structures, and two-hinged arches. Each chapter contains an introduction, methodology, necessary derivations/equations, and examples.

Features:

Discusses advanced levels of structural analysis with a focus on indeterminate structures.
Covers approximate methods for the analysis of multi-storey frames, two-hinged arches, and influence lines for indeterminate beams.
Separately discusses both flexibility and stiffness matrix methods for beams, rigid joint plane frames, and pin joint plane frames.
Step-by-step procedure for solving problems in each method.
Explains the problems with neat coloured free-body diagrams, shear force and bending moment diagrams, and probable elastic curves.
Includes review questions and answers for numerical problems and examples.

This book is aimed at undergraduate and senior undergraduate students in structural and civil engineering.
