Features: The purpose of this book is to introduce readers without a background in mechanics on how to understand the basic concepts of building structures and the overall overview of engineering. The book explains concepts with illustrations. The content is divided into two parts: one is basic concepts, including: design methods, force concepts, material properties; the other is the performance of various structures, including beams, slabs, arches, shells, cables, and tension structures. The book runs through the relationship between structure and form, as well as the relationship between geometry and mechanics. The target audience is college students beginning to study architectural design, and it also has great reference value for professionals in construction engineering.
