Description
Vikas Publishing House Mechanics Of Structures: (As Per Wbscte Syllabus), 1/E by S S Bhavikatti
For students of civil engineering, the basic course on strength of materials is not enough to start their engineering career. They need an advanced course like Mechanics of Structure to understand strength and stability of several components of civil engineering structures. Hence, Mechanics of Structure is taught to all polytechnic students of civil engineering.
This book follows the West Bengal Polytechnic syllabus for civil engineering branch. It is written in SI units. Notations used are as per Indian standard codes. Apart from West Bengal Polytechnic students of civil engineering branch, it is hoped that the students of other states with similar syllabus may also find this book useful.
