Structures for Architects: Planning, Analysis and Design explains the basics of structural systems to help architects conceive the structural form and analyze and design in a comprehensive manner. The objective is not to explain the structural analysis and design of complex systems in detail but to explain the analysis and design of structural members in a simple and elementary approach. Presenting basic concepts in a simple manner, the book deals with the presentation of structural systems used in the construction of public buildings. Architectural design, urban planning guidelines, basic rules of fire safety, and earthquake-resistant design are discussed in a conceptual manner. Examples included throughout the book shall help students, faculty, and practicing architects understand structural analysis and design in a straightforward manner, and exercise problems are presented to aid in the understanding of the contents presented. This book serves as a useful reference material for both academicians and practicing professionals.
