Summary : For students of civil engineering, the basic course on Strength of Materials is not enough to start their engineering career. They need an advanced course like Mechanics of Structures to understand strength and stability of several components of civil engineering structures. Hence, Mechanics of Structure is taught to all polytechnic students of civil engineering. It is written in SI units. Notations used are as per Indian standard codes. Apart from West Bengal Polytechnic students of civil engineering branch, it is hoped that the students of other states with similar syllabus may also find this book useful. KEY FEATURES • 100 per cent coverage of new syllabus • Emphasis on practice of numericals for guaranteed success in exams • Lucidity and simplicity maintained throughout • Nationally acclaimed author of over 40 books

Summary : Structural mechanics is usually studied under the field of applied mechanics. It is the methodological investigation of the deformations, deflections, and internal forces or stresses (stress equivalents) within structures. Structural analysis and design plays an instrumental role in generating a structure that is capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its intended life. Mechanics for structures is a field of study that examines the behavior of structures under mechanical loads, such as bending of a beam, buckling of a column, torsion of a shaft, deflection of a thin shell, and vibration of a bridge. There are three basic approaches to the mechanical structures analysis, namely, the energy methods, flexibility method, and the direct stiffness method. These methods later developed into finite element method and the plastic analysis approach. The book studies and analyses the most significant concepts and aspects of engineering mechanics for structures. It will serve as an essential guide for both undergraduate and graduate students of civil engineering and engineering mechanics.

Summary : Strength of materials is that branch of engineering concerned with the deformation and disruption of solids when forces other than changes in position or equilibrium are acting upon them. The development of our understanding of the strength of materials has enabled engineers to establish the forces which can safely be imposed on structure or components, or to choose materials appropriate to the necessary dimensions of structures and components which have to withstand given loads without suffering effects deleterious to their proper functioning. This excellent historical survey of the strength of materials with many references to the theories of elasticity and structures is based on an extensive series of lectures delivered by the author at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. Timoshenko explores the early roots of the discipline from the great monuments and pyramids of ancient Egypt through the temples, roads, and fortifications of ancient Greece and Rome. The author fixes the formal beginning of the modern science of the strength of materials with the publications of Galileo's book, "Two Sciences," and traces the rise and development as well as industrial and commercial applications of the fledgling science from the seventeenth century through the twentieth century. Timoshenko fleshes out the bare bones of mathematical theory with lucid demonstrations of important equations and brief biographies of highly influential mathematicians, including: Euler, Lagrange, Navier, Thomas Young, Saint-Venant, Franz Neumann, Maxwell, Kelvin, Rayleigh, Klein, Prandtl, and many others. These theories, equations, and biographies are further enhanced by clear discussions of the development of engineering and engineering education in Italy, France, Germany, England, and elsewhere. 245 figures.

Summary : Practicing engineers designing civil engineering structures, and advanced students of civil engineering, require foundational knowledge and advanced analytical and empirical tools. Mechanics in Civil Engineering Structures presents the material needed by practicing engineers engaged in the design of civil engineering structures, and students of civil engineering. The book covers the fundamental principles of mechanics needed to understand the responses of structures to different types of load and provides the analytical and empirical tools for design. The title presents the mechanics of relevant structural elements—including columns, beams, frames, plates and shells—and the use of mechanical models for assessing design code application. Eleven chapters cover topics including stresses and strains; elastic beams and columns; inelastic and composite beams and columns; temperature and other kinematic loads; energy principles; stability and second-order effects for beams and columns; basics of vibration; indeterminate elastic-plastic structures; plates and shells. This book is an invaluable guide for civil engineers needing foundational background and advanced analytical and empirical tools for structural design. Includes 110 fully worked-out examples of important problems and 130 practice problems with an interaction solution manual (http://hsz121.hsz.bme.hu/solutionmanual). Presents the foundational material and advanced theory and method needed by civil engineers for structural design Provides the methodological and analytical tools needed to design civil engineering structures Details the mechanics of salient structural elements including columns, beams, frames, plates and shells Details mechanical models for assessing the applicability of design codes
