Structural and Stress Analysis

The publication of a fourth edition has enabled me to include additional worked examples and end-of-
chapter problems of a more practical nature in response to the general tone of the latest market research.
Further, it has allowed me to correct some typographical errors that inevitably, it seems, creep into the text. Also I have included a chapter on the design of riveted, bolted, and welded connections, which, of course, is of an essentially practical nature.
In some chapters I have expanded the text, for example, in Chapter 2 I have included more worked ex-
amples on statics and introduced the extremely useful Bow’s notation. In Chapter 9 I have extended the work on combined bending and direct stress to the analysis of gravity structures such as earth-retaining walls, dams, and chimneys.
Accompanying the text is a Solutions Manual, which gives complete solutions to all the end-of-chapter
problems.
