New solved examples and problems have been added, giving over 140 worked examples and more than 400 problems with answers.       The introductory chapter on structural analysis modelling gives a good grounding to the beginner, showing how structures can be modelled as beams, plane or space frames and trusses, plane grids or assemblages of finite element. Idealization of loads, anticipated deformations, deflected shapes and bending moment diagrams are presented. Readers are also shown how to idealize real three-dimensional structures into simplified models that can be analyzed with little or no calculation, or with more involved calculations using computers. Dynamic analysis, essential for structures subject to seismic ground motion, is further developed in this edition and in a code-neutral manner. The topic of structural reliability analysis is discussed in a new chapter.       Translated into six languages, this textbook is of considerable international renown, and is widely recommended by many civil and structural engineering lecturers to their students because of its clear and thorough style and content.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49512835645713,"sku":"GOR007568237","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49726051451153,"sku":"CIN0415774330G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50921220800785,"sku":"CIN0415774330A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51172952277265,"sku":"CIN0415774330VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415774330.jpg?v=1751134183"},{"product_id":"structural-analysis-book-amin-ghali-9781498725064","title":"Structural Analysis","description":"This comprehensive textbook combines classical and matrix-based methods of structural analysis and develops them concurrently. It is widely used by civil and structural engineering lecturers and students because of its clear and thorough style and content. The text is used for undergraduate and graduate courses and serves as reference in structural engineering practice. With its six translations, the book is used internationally, independent of codes of practice and regardless of the adopted system of units.  Now in its seventh edition:    the introductory background material has been reworked and enhanced throughout, and particularly in early chapters, explanatory notes, new examples and problems are inserted for more clarity., along with 160 examples and 430 problems with solutions. dynamic analysis of structures, and applications to vibration and earthquake problems, are presented in new sections and in two new chapters  the companion website provides an enlarged set of 16 computer programs to assist in teaching and learning linear and nonlinear structural analysis. The source code, an executable file, input example(s) and a brief manual are provided for each program.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697511764241,"sku":"NGR9781498725064","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030740336913,"sku":"NIN9781498725064","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52145354014993,"sku":"NLS9781498725064","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1498725066.jpg?v=1750860102"},{"product_id":"circular-storage-tanks-and-silos-book-amin-ghali-9781138073364","title":"Circular Storage Tanks and Silos","description":"A Design Aid for Structural Engineers      Circular Storage Tanks and Silos, Third Edition   effectively explains and demonstrates the concepts needed in the analysis and design of circular tanks. Tanks have to sustain high-quality serviceability over a long lifespan. This text covers computing the stresses in service in several chapters. It considers thermal stresses and the time-dependent stresses produced by creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressed steel. It also examines the effects of cracking and the means for its control. This text is universally applicable; no specific system of units is used in most solved examples. However, it is advantageous to use actual dimensions and forces on the structure in a small number of examples. These problems are set in SI units and Imperial units; the answers and the graphs related to these examples are given in the two systems.   What’s New in This Edition:   Presents a new chapter on recommended practice for design and construction of concrete water tanks and liquefied natural gas tanks Includes a companion Website providing computer programs CTW and SOR Provides material on CTW (Cylindrical Tank Walls); with simple input, it performs analysis for load combinations anticipated in the design of cylindrical walls with or without prestressing Contains the finite-element computer program SOR (Shells of Revolution); it performs analysis for design of axisymmetrical shells of general shapes  This guide is an authoritative resource for the analysis and design of circular storage tanks and silos.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52431336997137,"sku":"NLS9781138073364","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53367967842577,"sku":"NIN9781138073364","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138073364.jpg?v=1759172217"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-amin-ghali.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
