Basics Loadbearing Systems

by Alfred Meistermann

Overview

Loadbearing systems are the basis of any structure. In order to provide architecture students with an easily understandable introduction to the field of supporting structures, this volume begins with the fundamentals of loads and forces and then moves on to building components and finally to loadbearing systems, together with their characteristic attributes.Subjects: Loads; Forces; Structural building components; Supporting structures and systems; Presizing.
