Description

This text is concerned with the preliminary stages of the design of structures for buildings. It also deals with the issues involved in structural decision making at a strategic level. It is intended principally for use by students of architecture and should provide them with the information required to make sensible choices on the structural aspects of architectural design. The topics covered include choice of structural material, the determination of the form and geometry of structures, the integration of the structure with other aspects of architectural design and the preliminary allocation of dimensions to the principal structural elements.
