Kadlčák – Statics of Building Structures I. / 3rd Reprint

This university textbook provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the scientific field of structural statics. It covers the theoretical foundations of structural mechanics and the analysis of statically determinate planar and spatial truss structures under both static and dynamic moving. The notation for static and geometric quantities and structural loads is presented in accordance the new European standards EUROCODES. The subject matter is presented in a clear, concise and well-organised manner, building on basic knowledge of mathematics and physics. Theoretical conclusions are immediately illustrated with appropriate numerical examples. The theoretical knowledge acquired forms the basis for further expansion of knowledge regarding statically indeterminate truss structures, elasticity and plasticity, the dynamics of building structures, and their application in specialist subjects. The textbook is intended not only for students of technical universities, particularly those studying civil engineering, but also for structural engineers and designers specialising in load-bearing beam structures.
