Fundamentals of Structural Design
-The book provides an in-depth understanding of different types of loads that act on structures, including dead loads, live loads, wind loads, earthquake loads, and snow loads. It also covers how to calculate these loads and their effects on structures.
-The book emphasizes the importance of equilibrium in structural design and provides practical examples to help readers understand the concept.
-The book covers specialized structural elements such as catenaries cables, arches, trusses, and lattice domes. It also covers how to determine the strength and durability of these materials.
-The book covers how to calculate and analyze shear and bending stress in simple beams, which are fundamental structural elements and explains how to calculate and analyze deflection in simple beams and its effects on structural design.
-The book covers load tracing, which is a method used to understand how loads are transferred through a structure.
-The book is highly useful for students, teachers, researchers and professionals in the field of civil engineering and structural design.
