About the Book: Simplified Mechanics and Strength of Materials:6th Edition
Requiring little in the way of mathematic ability, butprovidingmuch information,
this guide shows readers how they canunderstandand predict how a building and
its materials will performwhenexposed to a variety of external forces
(mechanics).Newinformation in this edition includes an analysis
ofindeterminatestructures and the ultimate strength resistance
ofthosestructures. A greater emphasis is also placed on
thefundamentals,providing professionals with simple concise solutionsto
commonstructural problems. Updated code and technologyinformation isincluded, as
are many more illustrations, and awealth of problemsand answers for self-study.
