Building Structures
By: Millais, Malcolm
Published by: Spon Press
This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in buildings. Both interested layman and all types of building professional will benefit from the explanations given for the behaviour of structures as they form part of buildings. Absolutely no prior knowledge is assumed and no mathematics is used in the explanations, which are reinforced by over 900 user-friendly diagrams. Starting from the basic ideas of load and load transfer, the ideas are introduced step by step. Chapters one to seven form the core of the book and clearly explain all the conceptual ideas needed to obtain a sophisticated level of understanding. Chapters eight and nine then show how these ideas apply to the structural behaviour of actual buildings. The Introduction gives a brief history of the search for understanding and Chapter 11 looks at the interaction of structures with architecture. The final Chapter shows how from the conceptual understanding simple numerical calculations can be done, using no more than the basic arithmetic operations. At the end of Chapter twelve, a few examples are given showing how significant calculations can be done for real buildings, these include some calculations for the famous Centre Pompidou.

Structure and Architecture
By: Macdonald, Angus J.
Published by: Architectural Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
Structure and Architecture' is an essential textbook for students and practitioners of architecture and structural engineering. MacDonald explains the basic principles of structure and describes the ranges of structure types in current use. Furthermore, the book links these topics directly with the activity of architectural design and criticism. An update of the first edition, 'Structure and Architecture 2ed' includes a revised opening chapter, and a new section that discusses prominent buildings constructed since the last edition was published in 1994. Angus MacDonald deals with structures holistically, relating detailed topics back to the whole structure and building. He aims to answer the questions: What are architectural structures? How does one define the difference between the structure of a building and all of the other components and elements of which it consists? What are the requirements of structures? What is involved in their design? An understanding of the concepts involved in answering these questions and an appreciation of how the structure of a building functions enhances the ability of an individual to appreciate its architectural quality. This book is unique in that it discusses the structural component of architectural design in the context of visual and stylistic issues.
