This document provides an introduction to matrix methods for structural analysis. It discusses key concepts such as flexibility and stiffness matrices, and their application to trusses, beams, and frames. It also covers types of framed structures, static indeterminacy, actions and displacements, equilibrium, compatibility conditions, and the relationships between flexibility, stiffness, actions and displacements. Matrix methods allow the analysis of statically indeterminate structures by transforming them into a set of simultaneous equations that can be solved using computer programs.
