Practical Structural Design, Vol. 2: A Text and Reference Work for Engineers, Architects, Builders, Draftsmen and Technical Schools; Especially ... Needs of Self-Tutored Men (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Master graphic statics and frame design with practical methods that bridge theory and shop-floor results.
This edition of Practical Structural Design offers a focused look at semi-rigid and continuous frames, including how to locate hinges, determine the moment curve, and transfer polar diagram data to build accurate stress and shear pictures. It blends step‑by‑step procedures with worked examples to help engineers, architects, and builders apply these techniques on real projects. The text emphasizes visual methods, cross‑checking results by computation, and using wind and live loads to understand frame behavior.
What you’ll experience- Clear procedures for constructing moment curves, neutral axes, and inflection points in complex frames.
- Guidelines for calculating horizontal thrust, wind effects, and member stresses using graphic statics.
- Detailed guidance on joints, connections, and the design of compression and built‑up members.
- Practical notes on fitting theory to practice, including splicing, pins, and the interplay of slenderness and load capacity.
