ABOUT THE BOOK

                     Structural Analysis in Theory and Practice written by Alan Williams is published by Butterworth-Heinemann , Elsevier. 

                      It teaches the fundamentals of structural analysis, which author believe are becoming lost in structural engineering. Having a solid foundation in the fundamentals of analysis enables engineers to understand the behaviour of structures and to recognize when output from a computer program does not make sense.   

                       Students will become better students and engineers will become better engineers as a result of this book. It will not only give a better understanding of structural analysis; it will make you more proficient and efficient in your day-to-day work.
