Structural Design: A Practical Guide For Architects, 2nd Ed

Taking the view of a practicing architect, 'Structural Design, Second Edition' addresses structures both on a conceptual level and on a numerical level. Most importantly, it helps architects work with structural consultants and understand the considerations necessary when designing structural systems. Using just enough mathematics (simple algebra, trigonometry, and solving some simple equations) the reader can make the correct decisions for structures made from steel, wood, concrete, and masonry.
