Includes bibliographical references and index.
Brackets and bridges -- Stiffening a beam : girder bridges -- Arches and suspension bridges -- Bringing the loads to the ground : the structural scheme -- Safe as houses? : walls -- Frames : a problem of stability -- Floors and beams : deflections and bending moments -- Providing shelter : roofs -- Structures in a three-dimensional world -- Materials and workmanship.
This book has been written to explain the behaviour of structures in a clear way without resorting to complex mathematics. Structural engineering is central to the design of a building. How the building behaves when subjected to various forces the weight of the materials used to build it, the weight of the occupants or the traffic it carries, the force of the wind etc is fundamental to its stability.
