Description

Introduction to Structures provides a clear and accessible introduction to structural design principles. With contributions from experienced professionals with over 75 years of combined experience, this book presents structures in simple terms through beautiful illustrations and worked examples.

The book begins by exploring structural forms in nature and history, before moving on to the process of design, selecting structural systems and materials, and then delving into statics, mechanics of materials, and structural analysis. The final chapter offers guidance on preliminary structural design, complete with decision criteria and design tables.
