To minimize the conceptual difficulty a student may have in the displacement method, it is introduced with plane truss analysis, where the concept of nodal displacements presents itself. A matrix operations tutorial is included as a review and a self-learning tool.

Acknowledging the fact that virtually all computer structural analysis programs are based on the matrix displacement method of analysis, the text begins with the matrix displacement method. This structural analysis text is designed to bridge the gap between engineering practice and education.

The latter is certainly the result of the ubiquitous applications of personal digital computer. The former is brought about by the recognition of civil engineering educators that structural analysis as a required course for all civil engineering majors need not cover in great detail all the analytical methods. Matrix Inversion and Solving Simultaneous Algebraic Equations 302 Problem 307 Solution to Problems 309 Index 323 v Preface There are two new developments in the last twenty years in the civil engineering curricula that have a direct bearing on the design of the content of a course in structural analysis: the reduction of credit hours to three required hours in structural analysis in most civil engineering curricula and the increasing gap between what is taught in textbooks and classrooms and what is being practiced in engineering firms.
