This textbook for engineering students provides an introduction to design for function, using many examples of manufactured artefacts and living organisms to demonstrate common themes and fundamental principles. Examples forcefully illustrate the importance of the basic design principles related to materials, energy and information. The author also discusses the relation of aesthetic and functional design, the crucial relation of design to production in artefacts, and reproduction in organisms. The book concludes with a brief summary of the role and requirements of designers and inventors. This second edition has been extensively revised, with more examples and a new chapter with actual design case studies to illustrate key ideas. In addition, many exercises have been added to help reinforce important points in the text.

Standard for the Structural Design of Composite Slabs and Standard Practice for Construction and Inspection of Composite Slabs establishes standards for the structural design and testing of composite slabs and for good construction practice and inspection procedures. Standard ANSI/ASCE 3-91 covers loads, construction stage, strength design, service load design, test procedures, and test results evaluation. Standard ANSI/ASCE 9-91) discusses damage control, connections, concrete placement, shore removal, holes, and hole reinforcement. These Standards are written in such a form that they may be adopted by reference in a general building code, and commentaries for both standards are included.
