Anyone who needs or wants to \"understand\" a building must have a good understanding of the structural concepts involved. Yet \"structure\" is often cloaked in mathematics - which many find difficult to get to grips with. How Structures Work  has been written to explain the behaviour of structures in a clear way without resorting to complex mathematics. Using the minimum of mathematics it explains the structural concepts clearly, illustrated by many historical and contemporary examples, allowing readers to build up a general understanding of structures. In this way they can easily comprehend the structural aspects of buildings for themselves.  Primarily aimed at students who require a good qualitative understanding of the behaviour of structures and their materials, it will be of particular interest to students of architecture and building surveying, plus architectural historians and conservationists. The straightforward, non-mathematical approach ensures it will also be suitable for a wider audience including building administrators, archaeologists and the interested layman.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49522680824081,"sku":"GOR006679223","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1405190175.jpg?v=1751271473"},{"product_id":"construction-since-1900-material-book-david-yeomans-9780713466843","title":"CONSTRUCTION SINCE 1900 MATERIAL","description":"Making use of visual material drawn from contemporary articles, textbooks and architects' drawings, as well as photographic sources, this is a text for students and for architects, surveyors and structural engineers involved in the rehabilitation of 20th-century buildings.

What is the best approach in refurbishing timber-framed buildings and how can a modern engineer understand the approaches needed to undertake these processes?   In this new edition, David Yeomans explores structural assessment and repair of timber in buildings. The guide takes a practical approach to the topic and outlines a four-stage process for dealing with structures that may be exhibiting signs of distress; anamnesis, examination, diagnosis and treatment. It then covers methods and materials, surveys, structural analysis, strengths, joint and repair methods, offering a complete and holistic overview of repair tasks and methods.   This book also covers:      the types of timber and their characteristics  specialist equipment  oak frame building  floor loads to timber structures  traditional carpentry joints  joints made with modern metal fasteners  repairing with non-timber materials.    Repair of Historic Timber Structures will be essential reading for engineers, architects and building surveyors tasked with maintaining timber structures. This book will also appeal to conservation officers and building control officers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50097835573521,"sku":"GOR013854499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0727764381.jpg?v=1780566322"},{"product_id":"repair-of-historic-timber-structures-book-david-yeomans-9780727732132","title":"The Repair of Historic Timber Structures","description":"England has a surprising number of timber-framed buildings, because they mostly date from before 1700 they are normally listed buildings, there is now an increasing demand for these buildings to be adapted to suit modern day requirements.

How the building behaves when subjected to various forces – the weight of the materials used to build it, the weight of the occupants or the traffic it carries, the force of the wind, etc. – is fundamental to its stability. The alliance between architecture and structural engineering is therefore critical to the successful design and completion of the buildings and infrastructure that surrounds us. Yet structure is often cloaked in mathematics which many architects and surveyors find difficult to understand.   How Structures Work has been written to explain the bahaviour of structures in a clear way without resorting to complex mathematics. It is aimed at all who require a good qualitative understanding of structures, their behaviour, and design, and as such will be of benefit to students of architecture, architectural history, building surveying and civil engineering. The straightforward, nonmathematical approach ensures it will also be suitable for a wider audience including building administrators and the interested layman. This new edition includes a new chapter to deal with some little understood structures both ancient and modern.   Reviews of the first edition   “How Structures work is the most compelling on structures that I have ever read. And I have read a lot of books on structures.”  —R.L.Brungraber, Ph.D., P.E Timber Framing: Journal of the Timber Framers Guild, December 2009   “The author writes beautifully. It is a user-friendly engaging book to read and one that is very easy to understand. One learns a lot by reading it … I think it should be a compulsory text for all first year engineering students.”   From a review of the first edition commissioned by the publisher.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51631666626833,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51631666790673,"sku":"NGR9781394340132","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1394340133.jpg?v=1775728150"},{"product_id":"how-structures-work-book-david-yeomans-9781119012276","title":"How Structures Work","description":"Structural engineering is central to the design of a building.
