Seismic Design for Architects - Outwitting the Quake (Hardcover): Andrew Charleson Seismic Design for Architects - Outwitting the Quake (Hardcover)
Andrew Charleson
R4,489 Discovery Miles 44 890 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Seismic Design for Architects shows how structural requirements for seismic resistance can become an integral part of the design process. Structural integrity does not have to be at the expense of innovative, high standard design in seismically active zones. * By emphasizing design and discussing key concepts with accompanying visual material, architects are given the background knowledge and practical tools needed to deal with aspects of seismic design at all stages of the design process * Seismic codes from several continents are drawn upon to give a global context of seismic design * Extensively illustrated with diagrams and photographs * A non-mathematical approach focuses upon the principles and practice of seismic resistant design to enable readers to grasp the concepts and then readily apply them to their building designs Seismic Design for Architects is a comprehensive, practical reference work and text book for students of architecture, building science, architectural and civil engineering, and professional architects and structural engineers.

Structure As Architecture - A Source Book for Architects and Structural Engineers (Hardcover, 2nd edition): Andrew Charleson Structure As Architecture - A Source Book for Architects and Structural Engineers (Hardcover, 2nd edition)
Andrew Charleson
R5,835 Discovery Miles 58 350 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Structure as Architecture presents a comprehensive analysis of the indispensable role of structure in architecture. An exploration, as well as a celebration, of structure, the book draws on a series of design studies and case study examples to illustrate how structure can be employed to realize a wide range of concepts in contemporary architecture. By examining design principles that relate to both architecture and structural engineering, Andrew Charleson provides new insights into the relationship between both the technical and aesthetic aspects of architecture. Now in its second edition, the text has been extensively revised and updated throughout. Features include: A brand new chapter on hidden structure, adding to the material on exposed structures. Two new chapters on using structure to realise common architectural concepts through a combination of precedents and creative design. Over 50 new case studies from across the globe. Easy-to-understand diagrams and a highly visual design to aid understanding and accessibility. More than two hundred case studies of contemporary buildings from countries such as the UK, the US, France, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, Australia and Japan illustrate how a thorough integration of structure adds layers of richness and enhances the realisation of architectural design concepts.

Seismic Isolation for Architects (Hardcover): Andrew Charleson, Adriana Guisasola Seismic Isolation for Architects (Hardcover)
Andrew Charleson, Adriana Guisasola
R5,527 Discovery Miles 55 270 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Seismic isolation offers the highest degree of earthquake protection to buildings and their inhabitants. Modern applications of the technology are less than 50 years old and uptake in seismically active regions continues to soar. Seismic Isolation for Architects is a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice in this field. Based on the latest research findings and the authors' extensive experience, coverage includes the application, effectiveness, benefits, and limitations of seismic isolation, as well as the architectural form, design aspects, retrofitting, economics, construction, and maintenance related to this method. The book is written for an international audience: the authors review codes and practices from a number of countries and draw on examples from eleven territories including the US, Chile, Argentina, Italy, Japan, and New Zealand. Aimed at readers without prior knowledge of structural engineering, the book provides an accessible, non-technical approach without using equations or calculations, instead using over 200 drawings, diagrams and images to support the text. This book is key reading for students on architecture and civil engineering courses looking for a clear introduction to seismic-resistant design, as well as architects and engineers working in seismically active regions.
