<br/><br/> This book presents a unified approach to the analysis of structures by combining classical and matrix methods of analysis. It is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of structural analysis and to develop intuitive perception in students. Several simplifying analytical techniques taught in European schools are discussed here. The advantages and limitations of various methods, and the differences in their approaches are discussed in detail.
