A valuable reference source, this richly illustrated, user-friendly book provides an informative introduction to structures, and appeals to architects' and building contractors' strong need for visual reinforcement. Chapter topics cover statics; analysis of selected determinate structural systems; load tracing; strength of materials; cross-sectional properties of structural members; bending and shear in simple beams; bending and shear stresses in beams; column analysis and design; structural connections in steel; and structure, construction, and architecture. For intern architects in smaller architectural offices, building inspectors, and residential and smaller scale general contractors.

From the Back Cover
The first edition of Statics and Strength of Materials for Architecture and Building Construction was widely considered one of the finest books in the field. The illustration program, custom crafted by Kevin Kane, tells a clear graphical story about the principles of structural analysis in the design and construction of buildings.
Intended for students and professionals in architecture, construction, and civil engineering technology, this text is intended as the next step after a basic introduction to structures. A highly visual, non-calculus approach is employed. Organized into two parts, the first part of the book covers statics while the second part covers the strength of materials.
