About the book
This major survey of structural design supplies the fundamental information for architects and builders to establish the structural
concept for a building and deal with structural issues .
Using diagrams, models, computer simulations, case studies, and exercises, J. Wayne Place weaves together a comprehensive
narrative that makes selecting and giving shape to structures and structural elements understandable. In addition to a commonsense understanding of the principles and issues involved, the complexity of the design process and analytic methods, readers also
learn the vocabulary necessary to effectively work with a structural engineer.
A companion CD-ROM includes computer simulations and demonstration versions of spreadsheet programs and a structural analysis
program, so that the designer can learn how to efficiently collaborate with the project team.
