Building Support Structures, 2nd Ed., Analysis and Design with SAP2000 Software (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

This textbook provides a unique and comprehensive perspective on the analysis and design of building structures. Striving to bridge the gap between how engineers and architects view structural support, this book's numerous examples employing SAP2000 illustrate how modern analysis software can provide a common language for understanding and exploring structural behavior. Using an organic approach where the structure both supports as well as defines the building space, the book uses SAP2000 to help readers comprehend the behavior of a wide range of structural systems, from long-span structures to high-rise buildings, subjected to many types of loads. Approximate hand calculations utilizing simplified mathematics are employed to confirm the results. Both the practicing building designer and the student of engineering or architecture will find this book a useful reference. The publication of the second edition was necessary because of significant changes from SAP2000 version 11 to the next versions in addition to other important improvements. Included with this book are the SAP2000V15 Examples and Problems SDB files which are available on .

Autor

Wolfgang Schueller, P.E., is a licensed structural engineer, an architect, and a retired professor of architecture. His experience in industry includes the design and construction of apartment buildings, industrial buildings, subsurface structures and bridges in the United States and abroad. His teaching positions include full professorships at the schools of architecture of Syracuse University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), and the University of Florida, as well as visiting professorships at several foreign universities. He holds undergraduate degrees in civil engineering, architectural engineering, and architecture. He received his M.S.C.E. in structures from Lehigh University. He is a member of the honor societies Phi Kappa Phi and Tau Beta Pi; he is listed in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the South and Southwest, Who's Who in American Education, and Who's Who in Science and Engineering. He has presented papers, written book critiques, delivered seminars and public lectures on various topics on the relationship between design engineering - structural engineering in particular - and architecture, in the USA as well as in numerous countries in Asia. He has given workshops at several Chinese and Indian universities on: The Building Support Structure in Architecture: a visual analysis and design of structures with computers using SAP2000. He is the author of five textbooks on building structures and architecture. His books have been translated into several languages.

In his books, Professor Schueller introduces approximate structural analysis and design methods, to develop an understanding of structure building systems and their behavior under various types of load action. I his last book the approximate solutions are checked with the professional software SAP2000®.
