Description
Structural Design of Buildings: Holistic Design is the essential reference for all structural engineers involved in the design of buildings and other structures. The book forms part of the Structural Design of Buildings series and takes a project-oriented approach, covering key issues that design professionals face in the structural design process. It introduces the concepts and principles involved in holistic structural design considerations of a building, including multi-storey and tall buildings.
Broken down into the key areas for understanding and undertaking structural design, and with a fully international approach, this book features coverage of
Soil-structure interaction
Tall buildings
Movement and tolerances
Modular construction
Structural fire engineering design
Structural robustness
Materials science
Seismic design for buildings
The book provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the design of buildings from a structural perspective. It is a timely and essential read for consultants, designers, technicians and contractors tasked with a holistic approach to structural design.
