Книга "How Structures Work" Дэвида Йоумана является уникальным руководством по изучению строительных структур. Из неё читатель узнает подробно о том, как ведёт себя здание под действием различных сил: веса материалов, силы ветра и других. Книга написана простым и понятным языком без математических формул, но этим не делает её менее полезной для студентов и любителей знаний о структуре зданий и сооружений.
В этом издании добавлена глава о материалах построек, а также изменения в структуре и расположении глав. Итак она подходит широкому кругу читателей, студентам технических и гуманитарных направлений.
Structural engineering forms the backbone in the design planning of any building project. But, how does it behave under various kinds of forces like the weight constituting materials from buildings, by the occupancy weight or during road traffic and others like wind? These features influence the foundation and stability of buildings. In a marriage with architecture undoubtedly forms a crucial role in its successful designs and deliveries. Nevertheless, what we tag 'structures' often hides a math that no architect nor surveyor may blindly take. David Yeoman’s latest book, How Structures work (its third edition) emphasizes the structure behavior simply avoiding complex math. A major advantage this book has is a tenth chapter replete with information on construction storage, and in-depth revisits and rearrangements of its other chapters, its target ledger to any readers who desire an enlightening concept of structure and its behaviors, be it among students of architectural education, in architectural history, valuators or for that matter civil engineers. Preserving a linear, elutable strategy empowers its utility for a broader range of people including property administrators, researchers in archeology, and also the lay audience.

Описание книги от David Yeomans
Structural engineering is central to the design of a building. How the building behaves when subjected to various forces – the weight of the materials used to build it, the weight of the occupants or the traffic it carries, the force of the wind etc – is fundamental to its stability. The alliance between architecture and structural engineering is therefore critical to the successful design and completion of the buildings and infrastructure that surrounds us. Yet structure is often cloaked in mathematics which many architects and surveyors find difficult to understand. How Structures Work has been written to explain the behaviour of structures in a clear way without resorting to complex mathematics. This new edition includes a new chapter on construction materials, and significant revisions to, and reordering of the existing chapters. It is aimed at all who require a good qualitative understanding of structures and their behaviour, and as such will be of benefit to students of architecture, architectural history, building surveying and civil engineering. The straightforward, non-mathematical approach ensures it will also be suitable for a wider audience including building administrators, archaeologists and the interested layman.
