Om denne e-boken

""How Buildings Stand"" explores the core principles of structural engineering, revealing how structures manage forces to remain stable. It highlights the crucial interplay between design, materials, and the laws of physics that govern the built environment.

The book journeys from fundamental concepts like stress distribution to the analysis of diverse building materials—from traditional stone to modern steel—exploring their strengths and weaknesses. Intriguingly, understanding load paths is paramount to appreciating how forces are managed within a structure to prevent collapse.

The book progresses from statics and mechanics to analyzing structural elements like beams and columns, then examines complete structural systems, including skyscrapers and bridges. Historical examples illustrate the evolution of construction techniques, while case studies of structural failures emphasize the importance of safety factors.

By connecting structural engineering with architecture, materials science, and environmental sustainability, ""How Buildings Stand"" offers a comprehensive perspective on creating sustainable and resilient designs.
