Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

Covering all major topics in structural analysis and design, this text focuses in particular on structural behaviour and design issues. Included are step-by-step examples related to the principles of mechanics; coverage of computer-based techniques; example analyses of real structures; material from specialized engineering and architectural curricula; a discussion of the analysis and design of the primary structural elements used in buildings; a discussion of the logic of structural design as a part of the larger building design process; and three-dimensional illustrations which offer students visual presentations diagramming both structures and structural behaviour.
