Book Description

This book takes a fresh, student-oriented approach to teaching the material covered in the senior and first-year graduate-level matrix structural analysis course. Unlike traditional texts for this course that are difficult to read, Kassimali takes special care to provide understandable and exceptionally clear explanations of concepts, step-by-step procedures for analysis, flowcharts, and interesting and modern examples, producing a technically and mathematically accurate presentation of the subject.

Customer Reviews

2D and 3D matriz analysis of skeletal structures well described. It is a must for graduate, undergraduate and professional Civil Engineers. I strongly recommend this book for those who are interested in computer applications in strucutral analysis.

You just need to read it! The way Mr. Kassimali explains the background of the structural analysis using the stiffness matrix method supplied with many examples and flowcharts is simply the best.This book really teaches. A must for structural engineer!
