The Art of Structures 结构艺术

This book describes the complete panorama of supporting structures and their function by describing how loads are sustained and transmitted to the ground. With a minimum of mathematics, the reader is guided through the analysis of some of the world's most famous designs and structures from a civil engineering perspective.
An intuitive approach is taken - the basics of equilibrium analysis are explained by visualizing the internal forces of specific structures with the aid of simple graphical tools.
Ideal for anyone who needs an intuitive and practical approach to the design and appropriate sizing of load-bearing structures.

本书通过描述载荷是如何维持和传递到地面的，描述了支撑结构及其功能的完整全景。 通过最少的数学知识，读者可以从土木工程的角度分析一些世界上最著名的设计和结构。
采用了一种直观的方法 - 借助简单的图形工具，通过可视化特定结构的内力来解释平衡分析的基础知识。
非常适合需要直观和实用的方法来设计和适当调整承重结构尺寸的任何人。
