Structure for Architects: A Case Study in Steel, Wood, and Reinforced Concrete Design provides an in-depth look into the structural design process using three key materials: steel, wood, and reinforced concrete. As a sequel to Structure for Architects: A Primer, this book emphasizes the conceptual understanding of structural principles, making complex engineering concepts accessible to architects and students. By using a single Case Study that progresses step-by-step for each material, the book covers the design of essential structural members—beams, girders, and columns—within a diagrammatic frame building.
Key Features:
-
Focuses on the fundamental concepts of structural design applied to steel, wood, and reinforced concrete
-
Step-by-step Case Study approach from determining tributary areas and loads to member selection and design
-
Helps bridge the gap between architects’ focus on visual concepts and engineers’ focus on technical aspects
-
Ideal for architecture students and professionals looking to deepen their understanding of structural design
This book is an essential resource for anyone involved in architectural design, offering practical insights into how structural principles apply across different materials and encouraging a holistic understanding of structural systems. Perfect for architecture students, designers, and professionals looking to integrate engineering concepts into their design processes.
