Overview
This book gives you a complete and uniform treatment of the most fundamental and essential topics in structural mechanics. Presenting a traditional subject in an updated and modernized way, this book merges classical topics with ones that have taken shape in more recent times, such as duality: geometry of areas kinematics and statics of rigid body systems determination of constraint reactions internal beam reactions statically determinate beam systems analysis of strain and stress theory of elasticity the Saint Venant problem beams and plates in flexure statically indeterminate beam systems: method of forces energy methods for the solution of beam systems. It can be used as a text for final year undergraduate or graduate students in structural engineering or even by some architecture students and also serves as a useful reference for practising engineers and researchers.

Reviews
It is a book useful for advanced level students, unifying the contents usually one could find in separate textbooks of statics, strength of materials, and engineering mechanics. The book covers the whole spectrum from kinematics and statics of rigid systems to energy methods and failure phenomena. It is a very good complementary advanced textbook. -Dr. Michael Sakellariou, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece
It is a book useful for advanced-level students, unifying the contents usually one could find in separate textbooks of statics, strength of materials, and engineering mechanics. The book covers the whole spectrum from kinematics and statics of rigid systems to energy methods and failure phenomena. ... It is a very good complementary advanced textbook. -Dr. Michael Sakellariou, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece The approach is undoubtedly suitable to undergraduate students who deal with structural problems for the first time: the text is clear and even the most complex subjects are treated in a relatively simple way, easily approachable by common students of structural engineering and even architecture. ... It is one of the most complete and comprehensive books on the fundamentals of structural mechanics. -Professor Claudio Alessandri, University of Ferrara, Italy This book builds on the strong and traditional approach to the strength of materials and mechanics of solids of the Italian school of structural mechanics, to give a complete and up-to-date treatment of classical statics of structures. -Maurizio Angelillo, University of Salerno, Italy
