Essential Structural Technology for Construction and Architecture

Texte du rabat

For courses in Statics/Structural Analysis, Strength of Materials, Structural Design with Timber/Steel/Concrete, and Foundations taken by students in construction technology, architecture, and engineering technology. Concise, easy-to-read, and mathematically accessible, this text helps non-engineering students develop a broad working knowledge of structures, one that will enable them to envision how structures resist loads and that will prepare them to collaborate effectively with other construction professionals while analyzing, designing, and constructing structures. Written by a practising structural engineer and educator with over 20 years experience in the field, it focuses on the key concepts of structures taken from traditional engineering courses in statics, mechanics of materials, structural analysis, timber design, steel design, reinforced concrete design, soil mechanics, and foundation design.
