Synopsis
A text exploring the role of analytical techniques in the design of structures in a building context, covering material discussed not only in specialized engineering curricula but also that covered in architecture courses. Part I introduces fundamental concepts of analysis and design, and Part II introduces primary structural elements used in buildings and discusses their analysis and design. Chapters in this part are divided into sections on each element, its behavior under load in qualitative and quantitative terms, and methods for designing the element. Part III discusses the logic of structural design as part of the larger building design process. An appendix discusses more advanced principles of structural analysis. Includes questions and exercises. Intended for students and teachers who wish to design their own curriculum. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

From the Back Cover
Key Benefit: Comprehensive and flexible, this book offers single-volume coverage of all major topics in structural analysis and design — with particular focus on structural behavior and design issues. Key Topics: The book begins with a self-contained, non-mathematical overview of the fundamental concepts of analysis and design, and then examines, individually, the common structural types used in buildings (e.g., trusses, beams, arches/cables) — discussing each in terms of both qualitative and quantitative analysis and then design methods — all illustrated with example analyses of real structures. It concludes with a unique discussion of the logic of structural design as a part of the larger building design process. Market: For readers interested in Structures or Structural Analysis and Design.
