This moment version of Structural Mechanics is an accelerated and revised successor to the hugely winning first version, which over the past ten years has develop into a broadly followed commonplace first 12 months textual content. The addition of 5 new programmes, including a few updating of the unique textual content, now implies that this booklet covers many of the rules of structural mechanics taught within the first and moment years of civil engineering measure classes.

· appropriate for autonomous examine or as a praise to a conventional lecture-based course
· Adopts a programmed studying structure, with a spotlight on student-centred learning
· comprises many examples, rigorously built questions and graded functional difficulties, permitting the reader to paintings at their very own velocity, and check their growth while gaining self belief of their skill to use the foundations of Structural Mechanics
· Now overlaying the most important a part of the Structural Mechanics/Analysis syllabuses of such a lot Civil Engineering measure classes as much as moment yr point.
