Building Support Structures, 2nd Ed.: Analysis and Design with SAP2000 Software

This textbook provides a unique and comprehensive perspective on the analysis and design of building structures. Striving to bridge the gap between how engineers and architects view structural support, this book's numerous examples employing SAP2000 illustrate how modern analysis software can provide a common language for understanding and exploring structural behavior. Using an organic approach where the structure both supports as well as defines the building space, the book uses SAP2000 to help readers comprehend the behavior of a wide range of structural systems, from long-span structures to high-rise buildings, subjected to many types of loads. Approximate hand calculations utilizing simplified mathematics are employed to confirm the results. Both the practicing building designer and the student of engineering or architecture will find this book a useful reference. The publication of the second edition was necessary because of significant changes from SAP2000 version 11 to the next versions in addition to other important improvements. Included with this book are the SAP2000V15 Examples and Problems SDB files which are available on the CSI website: csiamerica.com/go/schueller.
