Preface
As is well known, architects and engineers rarely design the elements and systems of their buildings; they do their work for (and hopefully in collaboration with) civil engineers or rely on normal building code practices. An understanding of structure behavior and building materials is helpful for architects and builders who want to tolerate their work. On the other hand, if this is used to implement a general structural system (a platform made of wood, a simple skeletal frame made of steel, or steel reinforcement), you may find that he has little knowledge of the design and relies on his expertise. structural consultants. We can design standard buildings with standard length, height, and cross-section information.
The heroic phase of Modernism, during which architects often aimed to harmonize the landscape’s behavior with the overall architectural style—some of which were inspired by high-level or load-bearing walls—was also a significant milestone in architectural education. In this context there was little need to explain why architects needed to learn structure. While there is still a degree of excitement surrounding the potential of nature in architecture, it is also true that a’stylist’ tendency exists, which is more interested in utilizing nature’s potential rather than renouncing its role in architecture. Bend, twist, break, and other tricks to change existing rules and the storage styles they support.
But whether hidden from view or boldly displayed, all institutions follow the same laws of equality, face the same kind of energy, and depend on the same resources and production processes. Naturally, it is appropriate for architects and engineers to receive architectural training so that the fundamental principles underlying all construction emerge. We can accomplish this in three steps: (1) analyzing the statistics and dynamics of materials, (2) applying these principles to the design of common concrete structures, and (3) gaining understanding of material design.
The connection between building systems and building elements is consistent.
Industry-published guides, government-approved codes, and academic courses widely disseminate the basic structural principles underlying structural design, historical knowledge of structural behavior, and structural design recommendations incorporated into building codes. Architects and builders have been the target audience for many excellent articles on construction. So the question naturally arises: why write anything else?
The primary objective of this text is to arrange the materials in accordance with the building program that Cornell University’s Department of Architecture has developed, using the three ‘categories’ we have just discussed: concepts, objects, and systems. Although this text provides an introduction to structural theory (statics), it focuses primarily on the design and analysis of structural members (columns, beams, and structural members and connections). We have prepared these materials in a complete, comprehensive, and independent volume that contains all the necessary information for the preliminary analysis of these wood, steel, and reinforced concrete structures.
The second motivation behind writing this article is to align the content with my personal priorities and understanding. The author creates insights, speculations, and presentations in each chapter, which are often unique and unavailable elsewhere. Moreover, the appendix, located at the end of the text, includes numerous tables and figures derived from professional literature, primarily updated and edited to enhance the clarity and ease of understanding of this text—while not overlooking any details.
Regular reviews of model design and load modeling take place. In recent years, there have been significant changes in the design of wooden, steel, and concrete structures, as well as in the load design. These changes include updating the design of trees and columns; replacing the standard specification of 36 ksi steel with a new standard based on 50 ksi steel for wide profiles; using maximum load factories in well-designed designs in accordance with SEI/ASCE 7 revisions, which are currently used in wood and steel design; and presenting environmental burdens with greater consequences. This document includes all these changes.
In conclusion, you should only use this document to understand architectural design (drawings) and architectural elements.
For correct design, consult a qualified professional.
