Principles of Structural Design: Wood, Steel, and Concrete, 3rd Edition, presents foundational structural theory alongside the elemental design of individual structural components. The textbook explains how distinct material behaviors and code requirements shape practical design across timber, steel, and concrete systems.
Coverage outlines core design criteria and primary building forces, including dead, live, snow, wind, and earthquake loads. The text reviews components subjected to tension, compression, and flexural stresses, as well as connections and pre-stressed concrete members.
To aid technical calculation, the text provides numerous examples of complete structural designs. It also includes a reference database of material properties, section properties, specifications, and design aids.
