Review
'How I wish that, when I was introduced to the "theory of structures" and "strength of materials", Millais' book had been available to replace the dense and boring tomes that I was presented with.' - Derek Sugden, The Architects' Journal 'Has someone ever urged you to "go back to first principles" but you could never find out what they were? Well, here is the book that will get you much, if not all, of the way there.' - Structural Engineer '[Provides] the historically-minded reader with an informative insight into structural matters, from which a better understanding of buildings should come. ' - Construction History 'This book uses simple language to explain complex structural concepts and mathematical calculations. Ideal for students of 1st and 2nd years.' - Lecturer, University of Liverpool
Synopsis
Structures abound in the world, both natural and constructed - trees, tables, cranes and bridges amongst others. This book, with numerous diagrams, explains how structures behave by introducing the necessary concepts that are essential for a proper understanding. The key concepts such as load paths, stress distribution and bending moments are explained by the use of diagrams without recourse to mathematics. It is highly suitable for students that require an understanding of structural behaviour or for practitioners in the building industry who need to be clear about the role structures play in the design and construction of buildings.
