To the Instructor
This Solutions Manual contains the solutions to all of the problems in Structural Analysis, Eighth Edition.
The problems at the end of each chapter of the book are arranged in groups that follow the order of
presentation in each chapter. In any group, the easiest problems are presented first, followed by the more
difficult problems. When assigning problems, be aware that the answers to all but every fourth problem,
which is indicated by an asterisk (*) before the problem number, are listed in the back of the text.
If you have any questions regarding the solutions in this manual, or any problems with the contents and use
of the text I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
