The book ""Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Structures"" by Clifford David Williams is a comprehensive guide to the analysis of structures that are statically indeterminate. The book covers the fundamental concepts and principles of structural analysis, including the theory of elasticity, the theory of plasticity, and the theory of stability. It also provides a detailed explanation of the methods used to analyze statically indeterminate structures, such as the force method, the displacement method, and the stiffness method.The book is divided into six chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the analysis of statically indeterminate structures. Chapter one provides an introduction to the basic concepts of structural analysis, including the types of structures and the principles of equilibrium. Chapter two covers the theory of elasticity, including stress and strain, Hooke's law, and the theory of beams.Chapter three focuses on the theory of plasticity, including yield criteria, plastic deformation, and the plastic analysis of beams and frames. Chapter four covers the theory of stability, including the Euler buckling formula, the critical load, and the buckling of columns and frames. Chapter five explains the force method of analysis, including the compatibility equations and the virtual work method. Finally, chapter six covers the displacement method of analysis, including the slope-deflection method and the moment distribution method.Overall, ""Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Structures"" is an essential resource for students and professionals in the field of structural analysis. It provides a clear and concise explanation of the fundamental concepts and principles of structural analysis, as well as the methods used to analyze statically indeterminate structures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
