The book incorporates all major topics in the civil engineering discipline and is written to serve as a refresher course with each topic presented briefly followed by an exhaustive set of objective type questions with keys for important questions at the end. It serves as a quick reference designed to help BE/B Tech undergraduate students and for practising engineers. It will also help in preparing for various competitive examinations:

Strength of Materials is an important subject in engineering in which concept of load transfer in a structure is developed and method of finding internal forces in the members of the structure is taught. This book is written strictly as per West Bengal polytechnic syllabus. The subject is developed systematically, using good number of figures and simple English. At the end of each chapter a set of problems are presented with answer so that the students can check their ability to solve problems.

This new, fifth edition of an extremely popular textbook continues in its tradition of presenting design procedures using a simple language, neat sketches and abundant solved problems. 

This book is aimed at training the students in using IS:800-2007 for designing steel structures using the limit state method. The author has explained the provisions of code in a simple language and illustrated the design procedure with a large number of worked out problems.

This book deals with matrix methods of structural analysis for linearly elastic framed structures. It starts with background of matrix analysis of structures followed by procedure to develop force-displacement relation for a given structure using flexibility and stiffness coefficients. The remaining text deals with the analysis of framed structures using flexibility, stiffness and direct stiffness methods. Simple programs using MATLAB for the analysis of structures are included in the appendix.

This book deals with the analysis of plates and shells and is divided into four sections. After briefly introducing the basics of elasticity theory and the energy methods of elastostatics in the first section, the second section is devoted to the statics of disk structures. In addition to isotropic disks in Cartesian and polar coordinates, approximation methods and anisotropic disks are also discussed. 

Structural analysis, or the 'theory of structures', is an important subject for civil engineering students who are required to analyse and design structures. It is a vast field and is largely taught at the undergraduate level. A few topics like matrix method and plastic analysis are also taught at the postgraduate level and in Structural Engineering electives.

Preliminary chapters are supposed to give suitable transition from structural analysis – classical methods studied by students in their compulsory courses. Then structure approach to matrix method is dealt so that the students get clear picture of matrix approach.
