Fundamentals of Structural Engineering: A Problem-Based Approach (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781032638058)

This book provides an introduction to the principles of structural engineering using a problem-based approach. It covers the basic concepts of structural analysis and design, including statics, strength of materials, and mechanics of materials. The text emphasizes the application of these principles to real-world structural engineering problems and includes numerous example problems and case studies to illustrate key concepts. The problem-based approach helps students develop their problem-solving skills, critical thinking abilities, and intuition for structural engineering. Fundamentals of Structural Engineering: A Problem-Based Approach is designed for undergraduate students studying structural engineering or related fields.

• Covers all the key concepts in structural engineering, including statics, strength of materials, mechanics of materials, load estimation, and analysis techniques.
• Utilizes a problem-based approach that helps students understand and apply the principles of structural engineering in a practical, hands-on way.
• Includes numerous worked examples, practice problems, and case studies that provide students with a clear understanding of how the concepts they have learned can be applied to real-world structural engineering problems.
