The comprehensive reference on the basics of structural analysis and design, now updated with the latest considerations of building technology Structural design is an essential element of the building process, yet one of the most difficult to learn. While structural engineers do the detailed consulting work for a building project, architects need to know enough structural theory and analysis to design a building. Most texts on structures for architects focus narrowly on the mathematical analysis of isolated structural components, yet Building Structures looks at the general concepts with selected computations to understand the role of the structure as a building subsystem--without the complicated mathematics. New to this edition is a complete discussion of the LRFD method of design, supplemented by the ASD method, in addition to: * The fundamentals of structural analysis and design for architects * A glossary, exercise problems, and a companion website and instructor's manual * Material ideally suited for preparing for the ARE exam Profusely illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs, and including new case studies, Building Structures, Third Edition is perfect for nonengineers to understand and visualize structural design.

Preface
This book covers the topic of structures for buildings in a broad scope and from multiple points of view. The primary purpose is to provide a reference for study for persons with limited experience in the field and with interest in the general problems of design of buildings. Presentations in the book are intended to be accessible to persons with limited backgrounds in mathematics, science, and engineering.
The materials in this book are developed to serve two primary needs of readers. The first is that of a text for study for courses within a collegiate program in building design. The second is that of a study reference for preparation to take the exam for architectural registration (ARE), as currently prepared by the National Conference of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).
Because of the broad scope of the book, it is unlikely that its content can be covered in a single course of instruction in a typical college-level term of 12–14 weeks. This depends, however, on the type of course work. Traditional development of courses with example computations for structural elements and systems requires considerable time if a range of structural materials and types of structural elements are to be treated. If the purpose of the study is limited to a general acquisition of understanding of basic concepts, issues, and design problems—with no involvement in structural computations—more of the book topics can be covered in a shorter time. The latter form of study may be undertaken in a collegiate program and is the general case for those preparing for the ARE. A guide for course instructors with suggestions for course organization and operation is provided on the publisher's website.
The first edition of this book was quite large in number of pages. The second edition was trimmed down a bit and this edition is further reduced in size. Trimming has resulted in some reduction of materials but has been mostly accomplished by careful elimination of repetitions and redundancies and by stricter concentration on the specific aims for the book.
Of critical importance for all readers are the study materials at the back of the book. These may be used as a guide to the reader's accomplishment of general knowledge.
