Structures

Structures by Daniel L. Schodek provides a comprehensive exploration of the core topics in structural analysis through both qualitative insights and quantitative precision. With an elegant presentation of the fundamental physical principles rooted in mechanics, this paperback text is meticulously designed for architects, engineers, and constructors. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the behavior of existing structural forms while inspiring innovative approaches to design. Ideal for both graduate and undergraduate study, Structures offers clear illustrations that demystify complex concepts and support a deeper understanding of structural behavior. The book also introduces computer-based form-finding techniques for membrane structures, highlighting modern advancements in the field. Published in 2004 by Prentice Hall, this 618-page work remains an essential tool for those engaged in the built environment and structural design.
