While structural engineers do the detailed consulting work for a building project, architects need to know enough structural theory and analysis to design a building. Most texts on structures for architects focus narrowly on the mathematical analysis of isolated structural components, yet \u003ci\u003eBuilding Structures\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the general concepts with selected computations to understand the role of the structure as a building subsystem—without the complicated mathematics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to this edition is a complete discussion of the LRFD method of design, supplemented by the ASD method, in addition to: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fundamentals of structural analysis and design for architects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA glossary, exercise problems, and a companion website and instructor’s manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial ideally suited for preparing for the ARE exam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfusely illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs, and including new case studies, \u003ci\u003eBuilding Structures, Third Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is perfect for nonengineers to understand and visualize structural design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJAMES AMBROSE\u003c\/b\u003e is Editor of the Parker\/Ambrose Series of Simplified Design Guides.
