Load and load path calculations and examples highlight this book on structural design!
This long-awaited book from well-known author and professor Narendra Taly focuses on loads and load paths with an emphasis on methods for determining member loads in structures. Loads covered include dead and live loads, snow and temperature loads, wind loads, and seismic loads. Each load is discussed in detail in its own chapter supplemented with several practical examples and detailed calculations. Includes more than 400 illustrations and photographs.
