Synopsis

For courses in Statics/Structural Analysis, Strength of Materials, Structural Design with Timber/Steel/Concrete, and Foundations taken by students in construction technology, architecture, and engineering technology.

Concise, easy-to-read, and mathematically accessible, this text helps non-engineering students develop a broad working knowledge of structures―one that will enable them to envision how structures resist loads and that will prepare them to collaborate effectively with other construction professionals while analyzing, designing, and constructing structures. Written by a practicing structural engineer and educator with over 20 years' experience in the field, it focuses on the key concepts of structures taken from traditional engineering courses in statics, mechanics of materials, structural analysis, timber design, steel design, reinforced concrete design, soil mechanics, and foundation design.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This book was written for students and practicing professionals who need to develop a basic understanding of structural analysis and design. It provides a concise presentation of structural technology, from the determination of structural loads through the sizing of foundations and the design of timber, steel, and concrete structures.

Some key features of this book include:

• A minimum of mathematical rigor in order to make the material more accessible to constructors, architects, and technicians.
• Simple principles are developed in order to explain fairly sophisticated relationships between structural loads and their many effects on the design of the building.
• Exercise problems follow application examples to reinforce each principle for readers. The applications provide an ever-broadening overview of the entire field, continually building on previous ones until the reader has a picture of how to apply all of the concepts to any building design situation.
