Civil Engineering Formulas and Equations for Students: 250 Essential Equations and Formulas for Scientists and Engineers - Part I: Theory of Structure

This is a little book for students who wish to have the essential formulas and equations of structural engineering/mechanics in a single easily accessible source. In about 70 pages, the 250 most essential civil engineering formulas are listed.

Unlike other large books on this topic, there is no need to go through hundreds of pages and thousands of formulas for the student to get the basic equations. The author has searched several books on engineering formulas and tables and selected only those equations which are essential to the student.

The civil engineering formulas and equations listed in this book are useful for students and researchers in various fields including structural engineering, structural mechanics, mechanical engineering, and aerospace engineering, etc. Only the most elementary and basic topics are covered including formulas for various stress-strain relations, equilibrium, thermal stresses, composite members, pipes and pressure vessels, strain energy, torsion, shear-moment relationships, bending stresses, shearing stresses, moment of inertia, beam deflections, curved beams, buckling of columns, matrix equations, finite element methods, stresses in arches, simple cables, structural dynamics, and many others.

This is the first book in this series and is dedicated to structural mechanics and structural engineering. Other volumes will follow in other areas of civil engineering.
