This textbook presents applicative examples of the main methods of structural analysis of statically indeterminate frame structures. It begins with a brief description of the kinematic analysis for plane frames. The Force Method, the Displacement Method and the Mixed method are applied for the solutions of statically indeterminate plane structures. The book first deals with the solution of simple reference cases where the most common structural situations, such as inclined rods, extensional and rotational springs, thermal variations, symmetry and anti-symmetry (just to mention some of them) are treated singularly. It then reports the complete solution of complex plane frames where the most common structural situations, individually analyzed in the previous chapter, are combined.Given the diverse and wide range of examples covered, the volume represents an ideal learning resource for students of Civil and Building Engineering and Architecture, and a valuable reference guide for structural engineering professionals.
