Structural Analysis (5th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Nice try, but full of errors
Review: This book could be a great book for the unergrad intro to structures course. It has a nice writing style, it is easy to understand, and has plenty of example problems. However, it is FULL of errors. It think someone in my class would find a new error at least once a week.

Summary: Excellent book, but many errors in the text solutions.
Review: This book provides an excellent introduction to structural analysis. The photos, illustrations, and attention to details are unparalleled by any other structures book. The illustrations show realistic structures, not meaningless stick diagrams. One word of warning though...Many solutions in the back of the text are printed wrong. Strangely, the solution manual has the correct solutions though. Finding the wrong answers in the back of the text can be very discouraging for students learning structural analysis for the first time.
