Materials and Structures

The purpose of this book is to provide in a single volume an adequate coverage of those principles of strength of materials and elementary theory of structures that are usually included, in one form or another, in courses followed by students of architecture, building, civil engineering, structural engineering and allied disciplines. The topics discussed should prove to be equally relevent to the requirements of both full-time and part-time students engaged in study leading to the award of various certificates, diplomas and degrees.
