The 5th edition of the classic STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS by Aslam Kassamali teaches students the basic principles of structural analysis using the classical approach. The chapters are presented in a logical order, moving from an introduction of the topic to an analysis of statically determinate beams, trusses and rigid frames, to the analysis of statistically indeterminate structures. The text includes solved problems to help illustrate the fundamental concepts.

  • Clear and valuable explanations of the basic concepts, supported by detailed step-by-step procedures for analysis, enabling students to make an easier transition from theory to problem solving.
  • Worked-out examples provide extra support.
  • Each chapter begins with an introductory section defining its objective and ends with a helpful summary.
  • Chapter 17, Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis, prepares readers for the follow-up course in matrix structural analysis.
  • Coverage of loads on structures has been updated to meet the latest ASCE standards.
  • New photos and page layout to enhance clarity.
  • Fifteen percent new problems (with the total over 600).
