Simplified mechanics and strength of materials /
Ambrose, James
Simplified mechanics and strength of materials / James Ambrose - Sixth edition. - Hoboken, New Jersey : John Wiley & Son, Inc., c2002 - xiii, 432 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.
Includes index.
Structures: Purpose and function -- Forces and force actions -- Analysis of trusses -- Analysis of beams -- Continuous and restrained beams -- Retaining walls -- Rigid frams -- Noncoplanar force systems -- Properties of sections -- Stress and deformation -- Stress and strain in beams -- Compression members -- Combined forces and sresses -- Connections for structural steel -- Reinforces concrete beams
Requiring little in the way of mathematic ability, but providing much information, this guide shows readers how they can understand and predict how a building and its materials will perform when exposed to a variety of external forces (mechanics). New information in this edition includes an analysis of indeterminate structures and the ultimate strength resistance of those structures. A greater emphasis is also placed on the fundamentals, providing professionals with simple concise solutions to common structural problems. Updated code and technology information is included, as are many more ill
