ABOUT THE BOOK

This book represents the translation of the author’s structural steel design and construction support experience in the United States of America in terms of the Indian Standards and Codes of Practice and his perception of the needs of the Indian engineering students. The book is based on his experience with the students while teaching at Aligarh Muslim University as well as his interaction with practicing engineers during his many visits to India.

A former Lecturer in Civil Engineering at Aligarh Muslim University in India and later a practicing Structural Engineer in the U.S.A. for well over three decades, the author has presented a pleasant and practical blend of the theory and practice of structural design in steel. The book incorporates just enough theory for its readers to feel well-informed and comfortable with the details and complexities of steel design they face in their practical career before presenting a large number of practical design problems. This emphasis on practical design forms an integral part of the book. The basic concepts and fundamental building blocks of steel design presented in the chapters on Structural Fasteners, Tension Members, Beams etc. are used later to familiarize the readers with the more interesting and challenging topics of Special Connections, Multistorey Building Frames, Industrial Buildings, Plastic Analysis and Design and Water Tanks. Extensive illustrative examples with a strong practical bias are presented to emphasize and accentuate engineering problems and their possible solutions.

Written in an easy, systematic and concise style, the book incorporates a wealth of material including a large number of example problems along with a set of expanded Steel Tables of Indian Rolled Sections to help its readers develop and hone their skills and knowledge of steel design and detailing. Students as well as practicing engineers will find the book of considerable interest and practical use.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Mechanics of Materials, or the Strength of Materials as it had been called in a traditional way is an important part of the undergraduate syllabi of many engineering disciplines. This book has been designed, specially for the benefit of undergraduate students in the civil, mechanical, aeronautical, aerospace and naval-architecture engineering. The importance has been given to basic concepts and fundamental theory with applications to real-life problems. Each chapter contains a large number of solved problems of varied nature with explanations at each step in simple language that will facilitate to understand with ease the basic principles covered in the topics of this book. Discussions related to a particular theory are brief and clear, yet thorough. In most cases, this is followed by a ‘procedure of analysis’ which provides the students a summary of the important concepts and a systematic approach to apply the theory. Free-body diagrams are used throughout this book to determine external and internal forces during the analysis of problems to make the students understand the technique of superposition of loadings and the resulting stresses and deformations. About 1000 problems with solutions and answers are given in the book, and SI units have been used.

The contents of the book have been selected to cover also the syllabi of various technical universities, professional institute examinations like A.M.I.E. and the competitive examinations namely I.E.S., U.P.S.C., and GATE of the country.

ABOUT THE BOOK

This book is intended chiefly as a text for introductory course in mechanics for undergraduate students of physics. It is designed to provide a basic sketch of some fundamental concepts of mechanics, which forms one of the most fascinating branch of physics. The book explains critically the basic laws of mechanics and the methods to apply them to a wide range of complex problems. The material of the text, which developed out of a course given to the first year undergraduates in physics for the last thirty years, is self-contained. Keeping the level of the readers for whom, the text is written the mathematical structure has been kept as simple as possible. The basic objective of the text is to lay stress on the physical insight and the important methods of reasoning. To deepen understanding and to develop problem solving skills and self-confidence in facing new situations, a large numbers of solved examples are given in each chapter.
