Yeomans, David T.
How structures work : design and behaviour from bridges to buildings / David Yeomans. - Chichester : Wiley-Blackwell, 2009. - xv, 248 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Brackets and bridges -- Stiffening a beam : girder bridges -- Arches and suspension bridges -- Bringing the loads to the ground : the structural scheme -- Safe as houses? : walls -- Frames : a problem of stability -- Floors and beams : deflections and bending moments -- Providing shelter : roofs -- Structures in a three-dimensional world.
This book has been written to explain the behaviour of structures in a clear way. Using the minimum of mathematics it explains the structural concepts, illustrating them with many historical and contemporary examples and allowing readers to build up a general understanding of structures.
