Synopsis
A beginning text for students of architecture, building construction, and related technologies, for a first course in structures. Treats essential topics in statistics and mechanics of materials and introduces structural analysis, taking a quantitative approach. Includes many background and reference appendices, plus problems and answers and b&w figures. This edition uses both SI and customary units, and offers a more gradual introduction to nonconcurrent force systems and the finding of reactions. Assumes background in materials and methods of construction, and a basic knowledge of calculus and physics. Most useful when used in conjunction with a text emphasizing a qualitative approach to structural behavior. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
