A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Here is a revised edition of the classic book on structural analysis for architects, constructors, and engineers. It is an elegant presentation of the set of physical principles founded in the field of mechanics that can be used by designers and builders as an aid to understanding the behavior of existing structural forms and in devising new approaches.

New to this fourth edition:

• Additional worked-out example problems and solutions, plus new and improved illustrations, help clarify some of the more complex concepts.
• A CD in the back of the book contains digitized images and illustrations from the book coupled with additional exercises. This visual experience reinforces the ideas in the text.
• Design methods for steel, wood, and prestressed concrete are outlined; with complete worked examples of each. This breadth of coverage allows readers to apply concepts to a wide variety of buildings.

Revue de presse :

"This is a good text, and I think far outstrips many competing texts. I always recommend my students buy this text for the course and to use it in the future as a well-illustrated text that deals with most of the key issues and goes beyond to show how the principles of structural design are incorporated into practice." — Harry Giles, University of Michigan

"It is overall a very interesting text, addressing architecture students and design issues that go beyond stress and strain. It deals with typology, morphology, and configuration, which few texts are able to do. In this sense it spans engineering and architecture very well. The illustrations are great, and they are exactly what they should be in a book that is about principles. They are clear, well-drawn, well related to the text." — Michele Chiuini, Ball State University
