The aim of writing this book is twofold. First, to help civil engineering students and fresh engineers who are preparing for the semester exams, job interviews, and competitive exams. The Second is to help civil engineering students who study the strength of materials, mechanics of materials and theory of structures for better understanding and preparing for the exams. This book is intended primarily to simulate the interest of students, graduate engineers, and engineers in the more frequently asked questions. The content of the book mainly focuses on providing the more frequently asked questions (FAQ), with their short, clear and sufficient answers in the form of MCQs. It is also intended to serve as a useful source of reference for providing quick and concise answers raised by the students or fresh engineers during their day- to- day study and work. If anyone wants to be prepared for any questions in the above mentioned subjects, I think this book will give him/her the thorough review they need. The book covers two main civil engineering subjects: - - Strength of Materials - Theory of Structures
