Features: This book comprehensively introduces various architectural structure systems and forms, as well as their load-bearing characteristics, applicable ranges, technical and economic indicators, and some dimension estimations. While ensuring the systematic nature of the teaching material, it also condenses and streamlines the content already covered in related courses for structural engineering, such as beams, arches, single-story rigid frames, trusses, stairs, floor slabs, and multi-story buildings. The book also emphasizes the important role of structures in architectural design and strives to incorporate some of the latest achievements in structural engineering research and outstanding domestic and international engineering case studies. In addition to expanding new content on thin-shell structures, grid structures, cable-suspension structures, and membrane structures, it introduces advanced tension-integral systems, cable domes, cable-stayed structures, and spatial large-span open-and-close structures in the context of long-span building systems. Chapter 12 of the book covers high-rise building structure systems, while Chapter 13 focuses on new systems and concepts in current high-rise building structures, including advanced structural vibration reduction and control technologies. This book is written based on the graduate teaching syllabus for structural engineering and can serve as a textbook for selecting architectural structures for graduate and undergraduate students in structural engineering. It can also be used as a reference book for teaching in other civil engineering and architecture programs, as well as for civil engineering technicians seeking technical references on architectural structures.
