Structural Analysis Through Short Questions And Answers

This slender volume is an offspring of the two volumes of “Comprehensive Structural Analysis” which are fast becoming popular among students and teachers.

When these two volumes are expanded to include more chapters such as “Finite Element Analysis”, “Kani’s Method”, etc., these questions and answers would be an integral part of them.

The questions are graded from the easy to the stiff ones. Care has been taken to include “good” questions from several university papers, questions that probe the mind rather than the memory.

A mastery of this volume will prepare the students not only for their degree but also for GATE, CES and job interviews.

Let this little book help you delve into the intricacies of structures.

many more new questions have been included in various chapters as suggested by the Publishers. This book can be treated as an addendum to Structural Analysis volumes I and II by the same authors.
