This book describes in great detail the Matrix of Methods of Structural Analysis used extensively for the analysis of skeletal or framed structures. The concepts of flexibility method and stiffness method are given, but the emphasis is placed on stiffness displacement method, which is a systematic procedure for analysis, is suitable for computer programming and is available in present-day software packages. For practicing engineers, research scientists, academicians and students, it is necessary to have basic understanding of the subject. The subject has been included in the Civil Engineering Curriculum as a core subject in M. Tech. programs and in undergraduate programs as a part of full credit course.
