BUILDING STRUCTURES, Third Edition, JAMES AMBROSE, PATRICK TRIPENY

1. Description

This book covers the topic of structures for buildings in a broad scope and from multiple points of view. The primary purpose is to provide a reference for study for persons with limited experience in the field and with interest in the general problems of design of buildings. Presentations in the book are intended to be accessible to persons with limited backgrounds in mathematics, science, and engineering.
The materials in this book are developed to serve two primary needs of readers. The first is that of a text for study for courses within a collegiate program in building design. The second is that of a study reference for preparation to take the exam for architectural registration (ARE), as currently prepared by the National Conference of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).
