If you are working on a specific structural design, let me know: Statically Indeterminate Structures Chu Kia Wang PH D
Published by McGraw-Hill in 1953, this 424-page volume was released during a transformative era for engineering. As digital computers were beginning to emerge, engineers were developing the matrix-based methods that would later form the basis of modern Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. Professor Wang's textbook adeptly covered both the classical "classroom" methods of the past (such as moment distribution) and the emerging mathematical frameworks for computer analysis.

Understanding Statically Indeterminate Structures: A Guide to the Classic Text by Chu-Kia Wang
Wang's book serves as a comprehensive guide, introducing and meticulously explaining the fundamental methods for analyzing indeterminate structures. While the exact table of contents from the original 1953 edition is not universally digitized, library records and academic syllabi confirm that it covers the two primary approaches that remain the bedrock of the field.

Redundant supports are temporarily removed to make the structure determinate. The displacements at these points due to external loads are calculated. Equations are then written to ensure that the redundant forces restore the structure to its original, compatible shape.
