Structural elements for architects and builders: design of columns, beams, and tension elements in woodm steel and reinforced concrete

Concise but comprehensive, "Structural Elements for Architects and Builders" is primarily focused on the design and analysis of structural elements: columns, beams, tension members and their connections. The material is organized into a single, self-sufficient volume, including all necessary data for the preliminary design and analysis of these structural elements in wood, steel, and reinforced concrete. Every chapter contains insights developed by the author andgenerally not found elsewhere. Additionally, the Appendices included at the end of the text contain numerous tables and graphs, based on material containedin industry publications, but reorganized and formatted especially for this text to improve clarity and simplicity, without sacrificing comprehensiveness. This title is based on the standards and codes from For timber: The American Institute of Timber Construction's (AITC), The American Institute of Steel Construction's (AISC), The American Concrete Institute's (ACI) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary (ACI 318 and ACI 318R), and theAmerican Society of Civil Engineers. It contains graphs, charts, and tables to solve basic structural design problems. It offers step-by-step illustrative examples. It covers common connectors such as nails, bolts, and welds.
