The creation of great and innovative buildings requires close collaboration of architects, clients and structural engineers. Modern structural systems can benefit from an appropriate combination of various building materials. The Manual of Structural Design goes beyond material confines and showcases suitable construction principles for different building tasks. Classical masterpieces and outstanding current projects are used to demonstrate the potentials of structural systems for various building tasks and consider alternatives. Easy-to-compare structural principles offer a basis for a common level of communication in an interdisciplinary planning process."-- Publisher's webpage Design and Construction of Structures 4 -- Part A Fundamentals: The Role of Structures 14 -- Historical and Scientific Background 14 -- Forces, Loads and Other Actions 16 -- Forces on Structures, Assumed Loads 17 -- Structural Design, Load Transfer 25 -- External Loads - Internal Forces: Stresses 29 -- Safety Concept 31 -- Building Materials, Properties, Load Resistance 32 -- Part B Structural Elements: Structural Elements Under Tension 40 -- Structural Elements Under Compression 47 -- Structural Elements Subject to Bending Stresses 54 -- Overview of the Pre-dimensioning of Structural Elements 63 -- Part C Structural Systems: From Element to System 66 -- Trusses 68 -- Trussed Beams 78 -- Cable Beams 81 -- Cable Trusses 82 -- Cable stayed Beams 82 -- Arches 84 -- Strutted Frames 87 -- King and Queen post Trusses 87 -- Frames and Trussed Frames 88 -- Rigid Frame Trusses 91 -- Girder Grids and Truss Grids 92 -- Space Frames 93 -- Overview of Support Elements and Support Systems 94 -- Part D Complex Structures: Historical Structures 100 -- Bridges with Extreme Spans 108 -- Structures for Tall Buildings 116 -- Shells and Gridshells for Long span Roofs 122 -- Membrane and Air inflated Structures 130 -- Mobile, Convertible and Adaptive Structures 136 -- Potential Offered by New Technologies and Building Materials 142 -- Efficiency and Sustainability of Materials and Structures 150 -- Part E Built Examples: Twenty one Example Projects 160 -- Appendix -- Standards, Guidelines 250 -- Bibliography / Acknowledgements 251 -- Picture Credits 252 -- Subject Index 254 -- Authors 256 -- Eberhard Möller.
