Title overview

For courses in structural analysis

A proven approach to improving conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.

Structural Analysis, 11th Edition in SI Units, excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames. Emphasis is placed on developing the ability to model and analyse a structure in preparation for professional practice. The text empowers students to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbeler's decades of classroom experience and knowledge of how students learn.

The 11th Edition in SI Units features more content on structural modelling, along with approximately 30% new problems that involve applications to many different fields of engineering.

Key features

  • Procedure for Analysis provides students with a logical and orderly method for applying theory, guiding students toward mastery of principles and greater confidence.
  • Photographs and photorealistic art illustrate how the principles of structural analysis are used in real-world practice.
  • Preliminary Problems offer students the chance to develop their problem-solving skills.
  • Fundamental Problems let students check their knowledge and prepare for exams. Solutions have been provided for all the fundamental problems.
  • Homework and Example Problems give students multiple opportunities to apply their knowledge to realistic situations. SI units have been used throughout the text, and answers provided for selected problems.

New to this edition

  • Re-written material provides further clarification of concepts and enhanced accuracy. Important definitions are now highlighted.
  • New photos show how the principles apply to real-world situations and how materials behave under load.
  • Material in select chapters discusses modelling a structure, drawing its deflection diagram, and applying approximate methods.
  • Approximately 30% new problems involve applications to many different fields of engineering.
  • Structural modelling is emphasised throughout, especially as it applies to modelling a structure for a computer analysis. Chapter 17 is expanded to discuss structural modelling in more detail.
