520 _aProvides 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.
