"Analyzing Building Structures" provides critical exercises to help
students understand the fundamentals of building structures and how
to design structures that will withstand forces such as
self-weight, live loads, wind, and seismic forces. The book also
provides comprehensive solution techniques and necessary vocabulary
to help students and professionals in architecture, building
construction, and civil engineering gain a deeper understanding of
the structural principles and analytical methods of building
design.
This book has been written to help readers learn about the
fundamentals of building structures by involving them in the kinds
of work that design professionals architects, engineers, and
builders encounter in the course of designing and constructing
building structures. It provides valuable practice to aid
understanding of basic architectural structural concepts, as well
as developing solutions for buildings and related structural
design.
This unique volume also features:
- Many 2D and 3D drawings, diagrams, and photographs supporting
main concepts.
- Real world problems illustrating structural behavior and design
of building elements.
- Clear instructions for each exercise.
- Partial solutions to set students down the correct path for
solving exercises.
