Book Description:

Structure As Architecture provides readers with an accessible insight into the relationship between structure and architecture, focusing on the design principles that relate to both fields. Over one hundred case studies of contemporary buildings from countries across the globe including the UK, the US, France, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong and Australia are interspersed throughout the book. The author has visited and photographed each of these examples and analyzed them to show how structure plays a significant architectural role, as well as bearing loads. This is a highly illustrated sourcebook, providing a new insight into the role of structure, and discussing the point where the technical and the aesthetic meet to create the discipline of architecture.

* Presents a comprehensive analysis of how building structure contributes to architecture
* Connects architectural design ideas and structure in the context of contemporary architecture, materials and structure
* Highly illustrated, providing a sourcebook of architectural and engineering design ideas

2- Introduction to Natural and Man-made Disasters and their Effects on Buildings

This is a comprehensive guide to all types of natural and man made disasters and their effect on buildings. It gives overall guidance and a basic technical understanding of prevention, mitigation and management of disaster, and outlines a checklist of preventive design elements for each situation.

Every category is illustrated with a case study which pin points the essential information that is crucial to architects and engineers in designing buildings with disaster prevention in mind.

The aim of the book is to give a clear understanding of the nature of events and problems, and to enable readers to respond with knowledge to the unique demands placed on their designs.

A special emphasis is also placed on re-building as an opportunity to start again. For the specialists this is a process of constant learning and improving techniques in the light of events past.

* Gain comprehensive understanding of disaster types and their effects on buildings
* International case studies with clear technical information provide practical advice for disaster prevention and rebuilding
* Looks at the effects of natural and man-made disasters, including terrorist attackshttp://rapidshare.com/files/75603376/0750656700.rar

The only A-Z guide to structural steel design Find a wealth of practical techniques for cost-effectively designing steel structures from buildings to bridges in Structural Steel Designer’s Handbook by Roger L. Brockenbrough and Frederick S. Merritt The Handbook’s integrated approach gives you immediately useful information about: *steel as a material – how it’s fabricated and erected *how to analyze a structure to determine internal forces and moments from dead, live, and seismic loads how to make detailed design calculations to withstand those forces This new third edition introduces you to the latest developments in seismic design, including more ductile connections, and high performance steels…offers an expanded treatment of welding….helps you understand design requirements for hollow structural sections and for cold-formed steel members….and explores numerous design examples. You get examples for both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD).
