Preface to the First Edition of Lecture Notes
It is well known that the students of Architecture particularly students in foundation courses
like Structural Analysis are greatly handicapped due to the want of a concise and
comprehensive lecture note on the subject as a whole. A student has therefore no other way
than to go through a number of voluminous textbooks on each one of the various branches of
Structural Analysis and in doing so he/she is very often confused about how much he/she
should read and know. This confusion obviously leads to undue wastage of time and energy
on the part of the student.
With much of insp3iration from our Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Prof. E. Sai Baba Reddy,
VSSUT, Burla we ventured to accept the task of writing this lecture notes in which an
attempt has been made to discuss the fundamental principles of all the different branches of
the subject in such a manner as to enable the student to gradually acquire a reasonably good
standard of foundation knowledge of Structural Analysis. Each individual lecture deals with a
particular branch of the subject and the extent of treatment is expected to fulfil the
requirements for the Five year BArch degree course in Architecture of the State and Central
Universities in India.
Thanks are also due to Ms Mitali Madhusmita, Assistant Professor (Limited Term) of the
Department of Architecture, VSSUT, Burla for many helpful discussions during the
preparation of these lecture notes.
We shall deem our efforts successful if the lecture notes is proved useful to those for whom
it is meant.
