Principles of Structure
Autor Ken Wyatt, Richard Houghen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 feb 2013
The book begins with a chapter explaining forces and their effects. Other chapters cover ties and struts, loadings, graphical statics, bracings, shears and moments, stresses, deflections, and beam design. There is also an appendix with a fuller explanation of fundamentals for readers unfamiliar with the basic concepts of geometry and statics.
The book offers a unique format with right-hand pages containing text and left-hand pages containing complementary commentary including explanations and expansions of points made in the text and worked examples. This cross-referencing gives readers a range of perspectives and a deeper understanding of each topic. The simple mathematical approach and logical progression—along with the hints and suggestions, worked examples and problem sheets—give beginners straightforward access to elementary structural engineering.

Notă biografică
Ken Wyatt was the mainstay of structural engineering teaching in the Faculty of the Built Environment at the University of New South Wales, Australia, for many decades. There he developed the original text of Principles of Structure. He is also a structural engineer, researcher, materials scientist, and heritage consultant.
Richard Hough has worked as a structural engineer with the design firm Arup in London, Los Angeles, and Sydney on many well-known buildings and with some of the world’s best-known architects. He is presently a principal in the firm’s Sydney office, and a conjoint professor at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

Descriere
With a unique format, using worked examples and supplementary clarification in parallel with explanatory text, this fifth edition of a classic gives readers a basic understanding of the design of building structures. It covers loads and reactions, bracing, moments and shears, and stresses and deflections. The text explains these structural principles clearly and concisely, and the worksheets test readers’ understanding. Backed up with real-world case studies, including six new buildings from around the world, the combination of theory and practice gives beginners straightforward access to elementary structural engineering.
