No building is properly conserved if it is not structurally sound. Consequently architects, engineers and conservation officers need an adequate grounding in the technology, the materials and the historic origins of the building in order to complete a conservation project successfully. Structural Design in Building Conservation deals with design issues and technical choices, showing how they are integrated with the planning and architectural outcomes in a conservation project. It brings together theory with current conservation technology, discussing the possibilities of structural details and strategies in architectural expression. Case studies are central to this, and these are organised around such themes as the addition of roofs, requalification of space, strengthening and re-use of fabric, repristination, additions, completions, stiffness adjustments, and the correction of past mistakes. The reader is encouraged to examine the technical details of these real projects, and explore the possible solutions. The philosophy of structural interventions is introduced in the context of conservation theories and practices in various European countries. The main types of strengthening, repairs and interventions are explained using different building types, and the structural nature of the main elements to be strengthened (linear structures, frames, plates and shells) is explored in detail. Case studies included cover a very wide range of historic types and conversions, not only monumental masonry structures like neoclassical buildings, major temples, churches, public buildings and museums, but also more utilitarian structures like historic mills, early reinforced concrete structures and vaulting types. This is essential reading for all students of architectural conservation, and practicing architects and engineers who are involved in conservation projects.

Die Arbeit von Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's (SOM) bleibt besonders bei der Konstruktion von gigantischen Hochhäusern, den Supertalls, bahnbrechend mit fast 80 Jahren Erfahrung im Zusammenspiel von Architektur und struktureller Ingenieursarbeit. Dieser vierte Band der Reihe Hochbau von DETAIL präsentiert den theoretischen Hintergrund der SOM Structural Group und geht nicht nur der Frage nach, wie "hoch hinaus" Architektur gehen kann, sondern greift auch die Themen Effizienz und Wirtschaftlichkeit auf. Anhand einer Vielzahl von Projekten mit allgemeinen Baukonzepten und spezifischen Details werden Prozesse zur entsprechenden Lösungsfindung aufgezeigt. Diese Lösungen illustrieren die wichtigsten Werte des Unternehmens: Einfachheit, Klarheit, Hierarchie, Effizienz und permanente Forschung. Darüber hinaus werden die Projekte - vom James Turrel Skyspace bis zum Burj Khalifa - ebenfalls in einen ganzheitlichen Zusammenhang mit der Arbeit von SOM gesetzt , untermalt durch Anekdoten aus vielen anderen bekannten SOM Projekten, wie John Hancock oder Sears Tower. Dieser Band beleuchtet neue Hochbaulösungen und zeigt auf, welche Materialien auf innovative Weise für eine "neue Generation" von Gebäuden verwendet werden können. With nearly 80 years of experience in integrating architecture and engineering, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's (SOM) work remains groundbreaking, especially when it comes to designing supertalls. Besides addressing the question of "how high can you go", as well as the issues of efficiency and economy, this fourth volume of the DETAIL engineering series presents the theoretical background of SOM's structural group. On the basis of a variety of projects with their general structural concept or their specific details, the book explains the process of finding corresponding solutions. These solutions illustrate the company's core values: simplicity, clarity, hierarchy, efficiency and continuous research. In addition, the projects - from James Turrel Skyspace to Burj Khalifa - are also placed in the context of SOM's work as a whole using anecdotes from a number of other well-known SOM projects as John Hancock or Sears Tower. This volume considers how to find new structural solutions, as well as how materials can be used innovatively to create "next generation" buildings.

Analyser une structure signifie, pour le concepteur-projeteur, en comprendre le fonctionnement, le jeu des forces, savoir justifier l'arrangement des composants, leurs formes et proportions, saisir les principes de résistance et de stabilité essentiels en liaison avec les matériaux sélectionnés. Ce livre donne une initiation à L'analyse des structures. Les auteurs présentent une approche naturelle, concrète et souvent intuitive des phénomènes - sans sacrifier néanmoins la rigueur nécessaire - étayée des méthodes de dimensionnement des cas les plus simples (seules les structures formées de barres, poutres et câbles sont traitées). Ils cherchent à sensibiliser le lecteur aux problèmes liés au comportement des structures afin d'en réaliser une saine conception. Cet ouvrage se veut aussi un trait d'union facilitant le dialogue avec l'ingénieur spécialisé. Initialement écrit pour les étudiants en architecture, ce livre s'adresse plus largement à tous ceux qui veulent s'initier à l'art de construire.

Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, Sixth Edition, is the leading self-contained aircraft structures course text. It covers all fundamental subjects, including elasticity, structural analysis, airworthiness and aeroelasticity. Now in its sixth edition, the author has expanded the book’s coverage of analysis and design of composite materials for use in aircraft, and has added new, real-world and design-based examples, along with new end-of-chapter problems of varying complexity.

It is not an easy task to fascinate a student with a standard course on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. If, however, the same material is presented as a tool to explore a natural or a man-made "disaster", both the motivation and the ability to absorb this material increase dramatically. The case studies in this book could help to build an introductory Forensic Geotechnical Engineering course, covering such basic topics as settlements, bearing capacity and excavations. The failure cases considered in this book have something in common - they can be all reasonably well explained using so called "back-of-the-envelope" calculations, i.e., without sophisticated models requiring finite element analysis. These simple methods based on clear mechanical considerations are the endangered species of the computer dominated era, though sometimes they could prevent a disaster caused by a wrong application of computer models. In particular, the upper bound limit analysis has repeatedly proven itself as a powerful tool allowing for sufficiently accurate estimates of the failure loads and leaving a lot of room for creativity. No one is exempt from making mistakes, but repeating well known mistakes reveals a gap in education. One of the objectives of this book is to attempt bridging this gap, at least partially. More failure cases covering a larger area of geotechnical problems are included into the companion book "Geomechanics of Failures: Advanced Topics" by the same authors.
