Structure for architects : a case study in steel wood and reinforced concrete design Introduction to structural design Structural design metholodgies Stress strain and material behavior Case study introduction Understanding steel Design in Steel case study Understanding wood Design in sawn wood case study Design in engineered wood case study Understanding reinforced concrete Deisgn in reinforced concrete case study. Structure for Architects: A Case Study in Steel Wood and Reinforced Concrete Design is a sequel to the authors first text Structure for Architects: A Primer emphasizing the conceptual understanding of structural design in simple language and terms. This book focuses on structural principles applied to the design of typical structural members a beam a girder and a column in a diagrammatic frame building. Through the application of a single Case Study across three key materials the book illustrates the theory principles and process of structural design. The Case Study progresses step by step for each material from determining tributary areas and loads through a members selection and design. The book addresses the frequent disparity between the way architects and engineers perceive and process information with engineers focusing on technical aspects and architects focusing on visual concepts. Structure for Architects: A Case Study in Steel Wood and Reinforced Concrete Design presents readers with an understanding of fundamental engineering principles through a uniquely thematic Case Study. Focusing on the conceptual understanding of structural design this book will be of interest to architecture students and professionals looking to understand the application of structural principles in relation to steel wood and concrete design
