Product Description
Presenting an introduction to elementary structural analysis methods and principles, this book will help readers develop a thorough understanding of both the behavior of structural systems under load and the tools needed to analyze those systems. Throughout the chapters, they'll explore both statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures. And they'll find hands-on examples and problems that illustrate key concepts and give them opportunity to apply what they've learned.

This is a very poor text for structural analysis. The examples are absolutely terrible. Luckily I have a decent professor who explains what is going on. Also, there are several mistakes throughout the text and I often found myself refering to my Strengths books to help with the shear and moment diagrams, and beam deflection because this book did a horrible job explaining those topics. I highly recommend you use a supplementary text along with this if you are using this book for a structural class. -M.

Very poor text, with mistakes in several problem solutions and equations. I wouldn't reccommend it for structural analysis classes
Solutions Manual Review
Solutions Manual Review
I have many structural analysis solutions manual. I recommend Hibbeler and Leet Manual over this one. Mc Cormacs solutions manual is as bad as the book itself.
