About the book >.>.> Developments in Structural Form Book by Rowland J MainstoneThis book surveys the historical development of structural forms used in architecture and bridges. It relates their evolution to the materials and construction methods available, as well as to structural behaviour and design constraints. The coverage includes structural actions and materials, then considers individual forms and elements such as arches, vaults, domes, beams, slabs, trusses and frames.The book also examines complete structures, including wide-span buildings, bridges, multistorey buildings and towers.
