{"product_id":"form-and-forces-isbn-9780470174654","title":"Form and Forces","description":"Here, in one volume, is all the architect needs to know to participate in the entire process of designing structures. Emphasizing bestselling author Edward Allen's graphical approach, the book enables you to quickly determine the desired form of a building or other structure and easily design it without the need for complex mathematics. This unique text teaches the whole process of structural design for architects, including selection of suitable materials, finding a suitable configuration, finding forces and size members, designing appropriate connections, and proposing a feasible method of erection. Chapters are centered on the design of a whole structure, from conception through construction planning.  \u003cb\u003eProject Team and Contributors.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Designing a Series of Suspension Footbridges.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBasic definitions of statics: Loads, Forces, Tension, Compression, Stress.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFree-body diagrams; Vectors and scalars; Static equilibrium of concurrent forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe force polygon and funicular polygon for funicular structures; Bow’s notation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDetailing steel rod elements in tension and anchoring to rock.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLateral stability; stiffening a tensile structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConstruction detailing and planning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Designing a Suspended Roof.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigning and detailing a suspended roof.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigning funicular curves with specified properties.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFamilies of funicular curves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStatic equilibrium.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComponents of forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSteel cable fastenings and details.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLateral bracing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegulating forces on masts and backstays.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Designing a Concrete Cylindrical Shell Roof.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShaping funicular arches and vaults in compression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForm-finding: catenary, parabola, circle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStiffening compressive structures against buckling and unbalanced loadings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDetailing and constructing a thin single-curvature shell.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Master Lesson: Designing a Trussed Roof.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStructural idea generation in three dimensions; The creative process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGraphical truss analysis; Influence of truss form and depth on member forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCreative latitude in structural design and positive interactions between architects and engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e5\u003c\/i\u003e Designing a Building on a Vertical Site.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoments of forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEquilibrium of nonconcurrent forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGraphical analysis of nonconcurrent forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDetailing and construction of a steel frame structure on a very difficult site.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Designing with Multipanel Trusses.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVarious methods of analysis for multipanel trusses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommon truss configurations and their uses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDeveloping and refining the form of complex trusses based upon forces and connections.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDetailing and construction of a building with heavy timber trusses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Designing a Fanlike Roof.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExtending graphical truss analysis to design fanlike structures both compressive and tensile (cable-stayed).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinding good forms and member forces for cable-stayed, fanlike, and treelike structures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesign and detailing issues using steel tube construction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 Designing Unreinforced Masonry (\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn A.
