Solution of Problems in Structures

Solution of Problems in Structures by W. T. Marshall, published by Pitman Publishing in 1971, is a comprehensive problem-based guide designed to support students and professionals in mastering the principles of structural analysis and design. Drawing on years of teaching and engineering experience, Marshall presents a clear and methodical approach to solving the wide range of problems encountered in the study of statics, strength of materials, and structural mechanics.

The book covers key areas such as bending moments, shear forces, deflection of beams, trusses, frames, and indeterminate structures, with each chapter offering step-by-step worked examples and practical problem sets. Emphasis is placed on developing confidence through systematic reasoning and accurate computation, making it especially valuable as a companion to classroom instruction or self-study.

Representative of Pitman's respected engineering series, this 1971 edition reflects the rigor and clarity that characterized mid-century structural education. Today, it remains a useful reference for those revisiting classical methods of analysis and a collectible title for anyone interested in the evolution of structural engineering pedagogy.
