Description:

APPLIED STATICS AND STRENGTH OF MATERIALS, 2nd Edition provides engineering and construction technology readers with a strategy for successful learning of basic structural behavior and design. The book is written at a fundamental level while providing robust detail on problem-solving methods on a variety of recognizable structures, systems, and machines. Topics covered include easy-to-understand discussion on equilibrium, trusses, frames, centroids, moment of inertia, direct stress, combined stress, beam mechanics, and much more. The book also includes extensive coverage on the design of beams, columns, and connections which include the latest design specifications using steel, concrete, and wood. More than 175 fully worked examples and 500 exercise problems offer thorough and comprehensive reinforcement of the material using recognizable structural and mechanical elements which connect the readers to the real-world.

Product Benefits:

• Over 175 fully worked examples and 500 exercise problems offer thorough and comprehensive reinforcement of the material.
• New discussion and examples on load paths, building information modeling, and design applications.
• Detailed "Course Project" and "Advanced Course Project" allows student to apply principles throughout the text to the solution of a real-world design problem.
• Links to Internet Tools are provided to stimulate conceptual and visual learning.
• A back-of-book CD contains simulation software to further conceptual understanding.
• "Advanced Learning Opportunities" presents a variety of outside references to be used for honors-type applications.
