This road winds through a range of topics, usually for the next three or four years. The road usually starts in the first year of an undergraduate engineering degree. Yet, for an engineer, particularly one involved in the analysis and design of structures, a firm grounding in fundamental structural behaviour is essential. It is among the most challenging topics undergraduate students struggle with. Learning how to use mathematics and mechanics to analyse structural behaviour takes a long time and a lot of effort. 1.0 The aim of this structural analysis guide
