Synopsis
For sophomore/junior-level courses in Structures or Structural Analysis and Design.
Comprehensive and flexible, this text offers single-volume coverage of all major topics in structural analysis and design―with particular focus on structural behavior and design issues. It begins with a self-contained, non-mathematical overview of the fundamental concepts of analysis and design, and then examines, individually, the common structural types used in buildings (e.g., trusses, beams, arches/cables)―discussing each in terms of both qualitative and quantitative analysis and then design methods―all illustrated with example analyses of real structures. A unique discussion of the logic of structural design as a part of the larger building design process concludes this treatment.

From the Back Cover
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.
