Series: Parker/Ambrose Series of Simplified Design Guides

The gold-standard structural design reference, completely revised and updated with an all-new look

Completely revised to reflect the latest standards and practices, Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders, 13th Edition, is the go-to reference on structural design, giving architects and contractors a concise introduction to the structures commonly used for typical buildings. It presents primary concepts and calculations for the preliminary dimensioning of principal elements within a building design, focused on key principles of quantitative analysis and design of structural members.

Structural design is an essential component of the architect’s repertoire, and engineering principles are at the foundation of every sound structure. Architects need to understand the physics without excess math. This book covers fundamental concepts like forces, loading, and reactions, to teach how to estimate critical design loads and analyze for final proportions. It provides exactly what you need to quickly grasp the concepts and determine the best solutions to difficult design challenges.

The thirteenth edition of Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders includes:

Increased page size for improved visibility and usability Newly revised wood, steel, and concrete construction sections allow easy comparison of the latest techniques and materials Accompanying instructor manual available online with background discussion, solutions to exercises, additional study materials, and self-tests

A leading reference for over 80 years, Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders is the definitive guide to practical structural design, ideal for students in architecture, construction, building technology, and architectural engineering.
