Riassunto

Structures for Architects: Planning, Analysis and Design explains the basics of structural systems to help architects conceive the structural form and analyze and design in a comprehensive manner. The objective is not to explain the structural analysis and design of complex systems in detail but to explain the analysis and design of structural members in a simple and elementary approach. Presenting basic concepts in a simple manner, the book deals with the presentation of structural systems used in the construction of public buildings. Architectural design, urban planning guidelines, basic rules of fire safety, and earthquake-resistant design are discussed in a conceptual manner. Examples included throughout the book shall help students, faculty, and practicing architects understand structural analysis and design in a straightforward manner, and exercise problems are presented to aid in the understanding of the contents presented. This book serves as a useful reference material for both academicians and practicing professionals.

• Strengthens the capacity of architects in fundamental structural analysis and design.
• Presents numerical examples and exercises for self-study in each chapter, including MATLAB® examples.
• Includes the basics for understanding architectural design, urban planning, fire safety, and earthquake-resistant design.
• Examines construction planning and management through CPM and PERT methods to aid in understanding the fundamentals of project management.

Informazioni sull?autore

Jayashree Aniruddha Madav is an urban designer and practicing architect in Mumbai, India. She is currently an Assistant Professor, in the Department of Architecture, Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute of Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA), Mumbai. She also works as an Associate Director at the Urban Design Research Institute (UDRI), Mumbai. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Architecture in Urban Design. She strongly believes that collaborative and participatory methods play a significant role in creating resilient and lively cities. Her master’s thesis, titled "An Ecological Approach towards Shaping Urban Peripheries: The Case of Urban Flooding in Chennai City," throws light on ecological and socio-spatial transformations that have led to changing dynamics of peri-urban areas of Chennai City. Over the past five years, she has worked with various communities, local government, institutions and organizations in many projects that hinge on public awareness and participation, community-led development, strategies for communication and outreach, stakeholder engagement and capacity building of local government and communities. She was previously part of the core planning team of the Eastern Waterfront Project at Mumbai Port Trust. She has also been part of the City Investments to Innovate, Integrate and Sustain (CITIIS) program (supported by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MOHUA), the French Development Agency (AFD), the European Union (EU) and managed by National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA)) through projects – Haora Riverfront development, Agartala and Green Mobility Corridor at Hubli-Dharwad while she was working at Urban Design Collective (UDC), Chennai. Currently, she works as an Associate Director at UDRI, and her current research is focused on demystifying the spatial planning process across India. It focuses on understanding the on-ground challenges and best practices adopted in various states as they navigate the spatial planning process guided by state legislations and central schemes. She is involved in the proposals of many prestigious projects of national importance. She has published a number of articles in national newsletters and journals, and is a member of the Professional Council of Architects, India and a Member of Society of Urban Designers, India.
