This book explains the basics of indeterminate structural analysis. It been designed to cater to the needs of the undergraduate students and design engineers. The classical methods - slope deflection, moment distribution and Kani’s method - are explained at the outset to form the basis of analysis.

The introduction of the system stiffness approach should help students develop an interest in analysing complex structures. The approximate method of analysis of multistorey frames subjected to lateral loads and vertical loads is also presented. Approximate analysis includes the portal method, cantilever methods and factor method for lateral loads. Multistorey frames subjected to vertical loads are analysed using the point of inflexion method and substitute frame method. Analyses of two hinged arches and an introduction to structural dynamics are also covered.

A number of graded illustrative examples are presented to help with understanding.
