First sentence: In the past it was common practice to teach structural analysis, or theory of structures and strength of materials as they were frequently known, as two separate subjects where, generally, structural analysis was concerned with the calculation of internal force systems and stress analysis involved the determination of the corresponding internal stresses and associated strains.
Description: This book discusses the determination of the strength and stiffness of civil engineering structures determining the loads they will support before failure and the displacements the loads produce.
