This standard text-book along with its companion Vol. II is designed to cover the complete syllabi of the subjects of Strength of Materials and Theory and Analysis of Structures.The outline of the book is:Chapters 1 to 8 consist the study of Stresses and StrainsChapters 9 and 24 discuss the Testing of MaterialsChapters 10 and 11 Shear Forces and Bending MomentsChapters 12 and 13 Properties of Lines and AreasChapters 14 and 15 Stresses in BeamsChapters 16 and 17 DeflectionsChapters 18 and 19 Analysis of Fixed and Continuous BeamsChapters 20 and 21 Composite and Reinforced Concrete BeamsChapters 22 Direct and Bending Stresses and Chapter 23 TorsionChapters 25 Columns and Struts of Uniform SectionChapters 26 Cylindrical and Spherical ShellsChapters 27 and 28 Riveted, Bolted and Welded JointsChapters 29, 30 and 31 consist of special topics such as Shear Centre, Unsymmetrical Bending and Bending Stresses in Curved Bars.The book within its 971 + 20 pages, it now comprise the following:* 900 Neatly drawn figures* 600 Fully illustrated solved examples* 715 Unsolved examples with answers at the end of chapters* 33 Useful tablesIt is hoped that this edition should prove extremely useful to students of Engineering reading for Degree Examinations of all the Universities of India, Diploma Examinations conducted by various Boards of Technical Education, Certificate Courses, as well as for the U.P.S.C., G.A.T.E., A.M.I.E., I.E.S and other similar competitive and professional examinations. It should also prove of great interest and practical use to the practising engineers.
