Book
Simplified Mechanics and Strength of Materials
Simplified Mechanics and Strength of Materials is a classic educational resource designed to provide a clear and practical understanding of how structural materials behave under various forces. This second edition continues Harry Parker's tradition of presenting complex engineering principles without the use of advanced mathematics, making it accessible to students of architecture, building construction, and engineering technology. The book covers essential topics such as the properties of materials, stresses and strains, the design of beams, columns, and joints, as well as the mechanical properties of wood, steel, and concrete. By focusing on simplified computational methods and real-world applications, it serves as a foundational guide for those learning to ensure the safety and stability of various structural elements in construction.
