Features: This book elaborates on structural concepts in architecture and overall issues in structural design. From the perspective of architects, it explains the fundamental mechanical characteristics, application ranges, and equipment and technical measures required in construction for various structural forms, enabling architects to grasp basic structural concepts as much as possible. At the same time, it briefly clarifies some architectural design knowledge from the perspective of structural engineers. This book serves as a necessary bridge connecting mechanics, architecture, and structure, thereby establishing a communication link between architects and structural engineers. It also allows architects and structural engineers to collaborate more effectively, achieving perfect unity in architectural structures. This book is suitable for architects and structural engineers, as well as for college and university students and teachers in architectural and civil engineering programs as a teaching or reference material.
