Understanding structures is core to the education of the professional architect and engineer. Using three-dimensional computer generated models, animations, audio narration, and interactive quizzes, this unique product explains the fundamentals of structural behavior and analysis in an easy-to-understand manner. Interactive Structures utilizes a multi-media format that permits users to draw a direct relationship between structural analysis theory and its practical application within existing buildings. This approach is better suited to the skills, disposition and learning needs of architecture, non-engineering and entry-level engineering students. New to this version are the addition of metric measurements and upgraded functionality of quizzes and exercises. Twenty-four building structures designed by renowned architects are also modeled to show the variety of structural types and behavior.

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.

Building Structures 2nd Edition + Interactive Structures DVD-ROM Set

AMBROSE, James

As the environmental impact of buildings become increasingly recognized, the role of building designers and the initial decision making process that determines materials, systems, and construction processes becomes more critical. This timely book addresses sustainability in building design through a series of examples presented as three dimensional models of well integrated building systems. The book organizes buildings into three sections – structure, envelope, and mechanical systems – based on the integration of paired building systems. The book demonstrates the performance of each systems pair in terms of interaction and contribution of each individual system and the synergetic benefits resulting from the unique pairing. The last section of the book is devoted to buildings that have a higher degree of integration and cannot be studied as paired systems. Each building is illustrated with full graphical display, text and analytical drawing to demonstrate its performance in a particular environment.

This unique book and DVD is an interactive learning environment composed of seven content areas: building form, envelopes, structures, climate control systems, renewable energy, lighting, and landscape design. Each of these content areas is subdivided into learning modules introducing the subject matter and investigates best practices for climate responsive and ecologically sustainable building design and construction. The DVD will help visualize and engage with concepts that may otherwise be too ambiguous or difficult to comprehend in a book format.
