This book is a basic text intended to be used by students in their first two semesters of study. It adopts a quantitative approach to structural mechanics, but seeks at the same time to discuss behaviour in a way that will foster an understanding of the part that structure can play as an active influence in architectural design. Brief reference should be made to two unusual aspects of the format used. Firstly, the subject matter has been presented in two parallel streams: a text and a commentary, as described fully in the section on How to Use This Book. Secondly, Section 1, dealing with forces and their effects, forms the basis upon which all other Sections are built; it contains all the necessary concepts so that the remaining Sections may be studied in almost any order with equal effectiveness. *Contents How to use this book; Introduction; Forces, moments and equilibrium; Ties and struts; Loadings on building; Graphical statics; Pin-jointed structures; Bracing of buildings; Shear force and bending moment; Properties of area; Bending stresses; Shear stresses; Deflection; Design of beams; Answers to worksheets; Appendix: A first encounter with statics. 152pp. (2000) 216 × 140mm ISBN 81 7371 328 6
