This text addresses structures both on a conceptual level and on a numerical level, aiming to give architects the language they need to communicate well with structural engineers (who, the authors advise, must be brought to any project early in the design process). Underwood and Chiumin (both affiliated with the architecture department at Ball State U., Indiana) indicate in their preface that this second edition was initiated because of the adoption or impending adoption of the International Building Code (IBC) as the standard for the United States, and the spreading use of load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for steel design. Other code changes are also incorporated. The text covers all primary structural materials (steel, wood, reinforced concrete, and masonry), as well as new materials or combinations, composites, and stressed-skin. A practical amount of math is included, along with examples and sample problems. The approximately 700 illustrations include photos, technical drawings, line diagrams, and freehand sketches.
