Principles of Structure

Since its first publication in 1974, Principles of Structure has established itself at the forefront of introductory texts for students of architecture, building and project management seeking a basic understanding of the behavior and design of building structures. It provides a simple quantitative introduction to structural engineering, while also drawing connections to real buildings that are more complex. Retaining the style and format of earlier editions, this Fifth Edition brings the text and examples into alignment with international practice. It also features six new buildings from around the world, illustrating the principles described in the text. 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.

In 1984, the English National Union of Mineworkers went on strike. On June 18 of that year, one of the most violent confrontations during the bitter, year-long dispute culminated in a mounted police charge through the village of Orgreave, South Yorkshire. On June 17, 2001, artist Jeremy Deller staged a partial reenactment of that event, collaborating with members of historical reenactment societies from all over Britain and with local people from mining communities in South Yorkshire. Accompanied by one CD with interviews, poems, and protest songs. Essays by Georgina Boyes, Jeremy Deller, David Douglass, Stephanie Gregory, Mac McLoughlin, Johnny Wood, Ken Wyatt. 
 8.75 x 6.25 in. 60 color, 40 b/w illustrations comes with a CD-Rom
