Structures

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.Schodek, Daniel L. is the author of 'Structures', published 2000 under ISBN 9780130278210 and ISBN 0130278211.
