Features: This book attempts to establish a conceptual system that makes any architectural structural principle easily understandable. Through an exploration that progresses from simple to complex, the architectural structural conceptual system is built through vivid descriptions and simple graphics rather than mathematical concepts, making the complex structural design process very clear. Additionally, the book uses these conceptual systems to explain and analyze the structural performance of six classic buildings. This book is suitable for students and teachers of major civil engineering and architecture at universities as teaching materials or supplementary learning resources, and it has strong reference value for structural engineers and architects. ...
