Structural Mechanics

The book Structural Mechanics presents methods and applications for obtaining the stresses and strains in structures that may be 1-D, 2-D, or 3-D. The ultimate load of structures is also discussed. In every Chapter, the theoretical background, the assumptions, the governing equations, the solution methods, and examples are presented in detail. Applications for slabs, folded plates, shells, reinforced and prestressed concrete elements, long columns, beams and slabs on elastic foundations, silos,….. The book is intended to serve as textbooks for senior undergraduate and junior graduate levels,…
