Statics and Strength of Materials for Architecture and Building Construction, 4th Edition, offers students an accessible, visually oriented introduction to structural theory that doesn't rely on calculus. Instead, illustrations and examples of building frameworks and components enable students to better visualise the connection between theoretical concepts and the experiential nature of real buildings and materials. This edition includes fully worked examples in each chapter.
