Building structures from concepts to design
Millais, Malcolm
Building structures from concepts to design - 2nd ed. - London Spon Press 2005 - vii, 423p. ill. 25cm.
Loads and load paths -- Internal forces -- Structural element behaviour -- Advanced concepts of stress -- Structural materials -- Safe structures and failure -- Geometry and structural behaviour -- Behaviour of a simple building -- Real structures -- Structural conception -- Structures and built form -- A simple approach to calculations -- The mathematical basis
Provides a detailed appraisal of the structural behaviour of buildings. Looks at the history of structural understanding; applying the concepts of structural behaviour to simple and real buildings; how the concepts define the design process and inform design choices; the diverging of engineering and architecture; numerical calculations for actual structures; and structural theory. Further reading.
