It follows a completely different approach to structural mechanics than the usual books for engineering schools, making it much more attractive for architecture students and practitioners. It also offers a different point of view for engineering students, as it provides them with a more intuitive understanding of structural mechanics and the models therein. Instead of studying the classical theory of linear elasticity and then particularizing it to simple structures, this book analyzes structures in a historic and also typological order. The book starts with cable structures and stone arches, followed by trusses and, finally, frame structures made of beams. For every typology, the latest, state-of-the-art theory in the field is introduced in a very didactic way.Structural Integrity,2522-560X ;4MechanicsMechanics, AppliedEngineering designBuildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalBuilding materialsSolid Mechanicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15010Engineering Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17020Building Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Structural Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000Mechanics.Mechanics, Applied.Engineering design.Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Building materials.Solid Mechanics.Engineering Design.Building Construction and Design.Structural Materials.624.171Cueto Elíasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut762827González Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910767515103321An Introduction to Structural Mechanics for Architects3655717UNINA
