This book describes the complete panorama of supporting structures and their function by describing how loads are sustained and transmitted to the ground. With a minimum of mathematics, the reader is guided through the analysis of some of the world’s most famous designs and structures from a civil engineering perspective.

With a minimum of mathematics, the reader is guided through the analysis of some of the world’s most famous designs and structures from a civil engineering perspective. An intuitive approach is taken — the basics of equilibrium analysis are explained by visualizing the internal forces of specific structures with the aid of simple graphical tools.
