In Chapter 9 I have extended the work on combined bending and direct stress to the analysis of gravity structures such as earth-retaining walls, dams, and chimneys.Īccompanying the text is a Solutions Manual, which gives complete solutions to all the end-of-chapter In some chapters I have expanded the text, for example, in Chapter 2 I have included more worked ex-Īmples on statics and introduced the extremely useful Bow’s notation. Also I have included a chapter on the design of riveted, bolted, and welded connections, which, of course, is of an essentially practical nature. The publication of a fourth edition has enabled me to include additional worked examples and end-of-Ĭhapter problems of a more practical nature in response to the general tone of the latest market research.įurther, it has allowed me to correct some typographical errors that inevitably, it seems, creep into the text.
