Concise but comprehensive, Structural Elements for Architects and Builders
is primarily focused on the design and analysis of structural elements:
columns, beams, tension members and their connections. The material is
organized into a single, self-sufficient volume, including all necessary
data for the preliminary design and analysis of these structural
elements in wood, steel, and reinforced concrete.
Every chapter
contains insights developed by the author and generally not found
elsewhere. Additionally, the Appendices included at the end of the text
contain numerous tables and graphs, based on material contained in
industry publications, but reorganized and formatted especially for this
text to improve clarity and simplicity, without sacrificing
comprehensiveness.
Based on the standards and codes from For
timber: The American Institute of Timber Construction's (AITC), The
American Institute of Steel Construction's (AISC) The American Concrete
Institute's (ACI) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and

Engineers * Contains graphs, charts, and tables to solve basic structural design problems * Step-by-step illustrative examples * Cover common connectors such as nails, bolts, and welds.
