Basic structures for engineers and architects
Garrison, Philip
Basic structures for engineers and architects - Oxford Blackwell publishing 2005 - xiii, 278p. 25cm.
What is structural engineering -- Learn the language: a simple explanation of terms used by structural engineers -- How do structures (and parts of structures) behave? -- Force, mass and weight -- Loading-dead of alive -- Equilibrium- a balanced approach -- More about forces: resultants and components -- Moments -- Reactions -- Different types of support - and whats a pin? -- A few words about stability -- Introduction to the analysis of pin-jointed frames -- Method of resolution at joints -- Method of sections -- Graphical method -- Shear force and bending moments -- This thing called stress -- Direct (and shear) stress -- Bending stress -- Combined bending and axial stress -- Structural materials: concrete, steel, timber and masonry -- More on materials -- How far can I span? -- Calculating those loads.
Discusses the fundamentals of structures, giving case histories and examples from real life scenarios. Includes mathematical aspects of the subject.
