Intended to serve as a textbook for the undergraduate students of civil engineering, this textbook is arranged in a logical and comprehensible manner that would be easier to follow by the students. It provides a broad understanding of fundamental concepts, traditional methods and advanced methods of structural analysis. Both determinate and indeterminate structures with different loading and support conditions are solved using different techniques. The matrix methods are presented in a simpler way which would be beneficial to develop the computer programs by the students.
