About the book:

A space frame is a three-dimensional framework for enclosing spaces in which all members are interconnected and act as a single entity. A benefit of this type of structure is that very large spaces can be covered, uninterrupted by support from the ground.
John Chilton’s book provides an up-to-date assessment of the use of space grid structures in buildings by reviewing methods of construction, various systems available and detailed studies of the use of space grids in modern buildings. The technical level is aimed at professional and student architects and engineers worldwide and it also serves as a useful construction manual.
John Chilton is an engineer, currently teaching architectural students at Nottingham University where he is a senior lecturer. He has also undertaken considerable research in this field.
Provides a full assessment of the use of space frame structures in buildings
International examples throughout showing how architects use this technology in their designs
Numerous illustrations support the text and make the technical detail easy to digest

About the book:

New edition helps students make the bridge from concepts to problem-solving The Fourth Edition of Structural Concrete: Theory and Design brings this text fully up to date while maintaining its acclaimed easy-to-follow, logical approach. Working with the text’s numerous step-by-step examples, students quickly grasp the principles and techniques of analyzing and designing reinforced and prestressed concrete elements. Moreover, the authors’ emphasis on a top quality, economical approach helps students design concrete structures and members with confidence. Fully updated and revised, the Fourth Edition features: Latest coverage reflecting the ACI 318-08 code Seismic design chapter incorporates the latest of the International Building Code (IBC 2006) AASHTO method for predicting concrete creep and shrinkage New chapter dedicated to the design of curved beams SI unit examples, equivalent conversion factors from customary units to SI units, and SI unit design tables Practical problems in each chapter enable students to apply and assess their knowledge as they advance through the text. The text’s companion Web site gives students more opportunities to apply their knowledge, with such features as MS Excel spreadsheets that offer an interactive environment for evaluating different design aspects of concrete members. This text is an outgrowth of the two authors’ lecture notes, reflecting more than twenty-five years of both classroom teaching and industrial experience. It is structured to cover a two-course sequence on the design of reinforced concrete structures as well as provide a comprehensive up-to-date reference for practicing engineers.

Building Structures Illustrated Patterns, Systems, and Design

As process of infrastructure assembling, building construction consist of multi tasks those involve planning, scheduling, safety design and environmental aspect for planning project to be real property. To create building structure process, as translation from computer design as basis of drawings to real building, architecture and civil engineering must be fulfill themselves for the right concept for modern building design, including theory and practice.
Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns, Systems, and Design book is designed as helpful reference for students and professionals to understand about principles of structural design system and other related aspects. Francis D. Ching, the author well organizes how to treat the design process with correct composition, pattern, material and code compliance for variety of material taxonomy.
By review on basic structural terminology on its early chapter, Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns, Systems, and Design book covers design issues and load analysis to get lateral stability for both long span and high rise structures with excellent integrated system and building codes. This enjoyable textbook is highly recommended for anyone want to right guide to improve the ability while planning and designing all types of safe building structures, including to answer the challenge to build in earthquake prone areas.
