Structural Analysis Vol 2 4th Edition By S S Bhavikatti

Structural Analysis-II deals in depth with the analysis of indeterminate structures, and also special topics like curved beams and unsymmetrical bending. It includes indeterminate structural analysis and provides an introduction to advanced methods of analysis, namely matrix method and plastic analysis.
Structural analysis, or the \'theory of structures\', is an important subject for civil engineering students who are required to analyse and design structures. It is a vast field and is largely taught at the undergraduate level. A few topics like matrix method and plastic analysis are also taught at the postgraduate level and in structural engineering electives. The entire course has been covered in two volumes—Structural Analysis-I and II.
