Description
CRC Press Principles Of Structural Design 3Rd Edition by Ram S Gupta
Timber, steel, and concrete are common engineering materials used for designing and constructing structures. The choice of material depends upon the type, availability of materials, and preference of the designer; and the code requirements of each are very different. In this updated edition, the elemental designs of individual components of each material are presented, coupled with theory of structures essential for the design. It includes numerous examples and case studies of the designs of complete structures with respect to each material. Appendixes include data on materials properties, section properties, specifications, and design aids necessary for designing the structures.
