Description
Wiley India Strength And Deformation Of Statically Indeterminate Structures by Prabhat Kuma
This is a comprehensive textbook, covering all the important topics under indeterminate structures. This book departs from the conventional practice of giving all theories in one place followed by a plethora of solved problems, and instead presents each theory followed by solved problems pertaining to that theory. This helps the students to understand each theory and its applications in a better manner. Wherever a problem can be solved by several methods, it has been solved by different alternative methods to highlight the salient features of each of the methods used.
