Synopsis

Master the design of structures with practical, graphical methods you can apply on real projects.

This classic text-book blends theory with hands-on drawing and analysis. It targets students, draughtsmen, and engineers involved in construction work, offering a clear path from graphic construction to practical design formulas. It covers wind pressures, loads, deflections, and the behavior of beams, joints, and framed structures, with working drawings to illustrate concepts.

• Learn how to derive and apply design formulas from graphical constructions, not just calculus.
• See how to combine dead load, live load, and wind stress using vector and reciprocal methods.
• Explore reinforced concrete and steel design, including joints, beams, and columns.
• Work with diagrams, tables, and examples that connect theory to real drawings and practice.

Ideal for readers pursuing engineering exams or professional practice in building and bridge design.
