Basic Structures provides the stent with a clear explanation of structural concepts, using many analogies and examples. Real examples and case sties show the concepts in use, and the book is well illustrated with full colour photographs and many line illustrations, giving the stent a thorough grounding in the fundamentals and a 'feel' for the way buildings behave structurally. With many worked examples and tutorial questions, the book serves as an ideal introduction to the subject.
