It transforms abstract equations into visual understanding through beautifully illustrated diagrams and plain-language explanations. Used in universities and professional development courses worldwide, this book is a trusted companion for engineers preparing for exams, chartership routes, and technical interviews. Recognised for his contribution to engineering education, David Brohn MBE was honoured by King Charles III at Windsor Castle in 2023 for his services to structural engineering. Whether you’re a student aiming to pass exams or a professional looking to strengthen your intuitive grasp of structures, this book will help you see structural behaviour with clarity and confidence. Review: A must-have for anyone using graphical computer structural analysis - Brohn makes no apologies for writing a book which shuns mathematical equations and instead focuses on a qualitative understanding of structural analysis (mostly in 2-dimensions). Furthermore he deals only briefly with statically determinate analysis. I think this is a sensible approach as the target audience for the book is those who already have some ability in theoretical mechanics and are moving on to using the 'black-box' tool of computerised structural analysis usually required for commercial engineering. In this situation the more important skill is an understanding of the graphical output rather than the mathematical details. The format of the book is that of PowerPoint-style printouts. Unlike most textbooks which contain endless text with some scattered equations, each page of this book features 4 sketches and 4 associated paragraphs of text to explain the drawing. This method of presentation is more intuitive for engineers who typically communicate by drawing rather than writing. The aforementioned features of this text make it a must-read for those beginning to use computer based stiffness matrix based structural analysis software with graphical outputs. The knowledge contained within this book will help combat the silly errors made by inexperienced graduates that plague the engineering professions. It is also worth mentioning that experienced practitioners will instantly realise that the software alone is worth the £40 asking price of the book (although it might be difficult for the uninitiated to get to grips with). Review: Brilliant. Chapters are walk through lectures. - Brilliant book. I've attached the contents page and and example page of the book. The format is excellent; every page has 4 windows with diagrams and is accompanied with text to explain it. All ideas are walked through in a number of windows; for instance, statical indeterminacy is explained through 55 diagram windows and their accompanying text. Astonished by how easy the content is digested in this manner. Pages have an abundance of space too, which is great for jotting thoughts down in pencil. Must buy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 128,100 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 67 Reviews | ## Images ![Understanding Structural Analysis - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518205CJJ9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-have for anyone using graphical computer structural analysis *by P***A on 14 October 2017* Brohn makes no apologies for writing a book which shuns mathematical equations and instead focuses on a qualitative understanding of structural analysis (mostly in 2-dimensions).
