Structures by Daniel Schodek

Structures by Daniel Schodek

Covering the various topics in structural analysis and design, this book focuses on structural behaviour and design issues. It gives an overview of the concepts of analysis and design, and examines the common structural types used in buildings. It also discusses the logic of structural design as a part of the larger building design process.

"This is a good text, and I think far outstrips many competing textsI always recommend my students buy this text for the course and to use it in the future as a well-illustrated text that deals with most of the key issues and goes beyond to show how the principles of structural design are incorporated into practice." — Harry Giles, University of Michigan

"It is overall a very interesting text, addressing architecture students and design issues that go beyond stress and strain. It deals with typology, morphology, and configuration, which few texts are able to do. In this sense it spans engineering and architecture very well. The illustrations are great, and they are exactly what they should be in a book that is about principles. They are clear, well-drawn, well related to the text." — Michele Chiuini, Ball State University
