Synopsis

Simplified Structural Analysis and Design for Architects covers the basics of structural analysis and design in clear, practical terms. Early chapters discuss the principles of statics, strength of materials, and structural analysis, which represent the underlying basic material of structures and structural technology. The second part of the text focuses on steel, wood, and concrete structures, and outlines the design methods of some structural elements in a simplified manner using some typical design examples. The analysis of indeterminate structures is also covered through clear and simplified examples. The last chapters of the book discuss the design of bolted and welded steel connections with practical design examples.

Simplified Structural Analysis and Design for Architects is particularly suitable for undergraduate and graduate architecture courses and courses in structural technology. The book is also useful for practicing architects and architecture graduates who are preparing for the licensing examination.
