Matrix Analysis of Structures By Aslam Kassimali

Description: About this productProduct InformationThis book takes a fresh, student-oriented approach to teaching the material covered in the senior- and first-year graduate-level matrix structural analysis course taken by civil engineering majors. Unlike traditional texts for this course that are difficult to read, Kassimali takes special care to provide understandable and exceptionally clear explanations of concepts, step-by-step procedures for analysis, flowcharts, and interesting and modern examples, producing a technically and mathematically accurate presentation of the subject.Product IdentifiersPublisherCourse TechnologyISBN-100534206700ISBN-139780534206703eBay Product ID (ePID)978575Product Key FeaturesAuthorAslam KassimaliPublication NameMatrix Analysis of StructuresFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishPublication Year1999TypeTextbookNumber of Pages600 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.4in.Item Height1.3in.Item Width8.1in.Item Weight40.9 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberTa642.K373 1999Edition Number1Table of Content1.
