Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
There are many books available which explain structural theory and allow the question, Why is it done? to be answered. However, it does appear that there is a need to produce a book which illustrates how the available information is used to produce a structurally sound solution. It is hoped that this publication will go some way in meeting that need. The design calculations have been done by hand on calculation sheets with the aim of exposing the student to normal office practice. These sheets have, in the left-hand margin, referred to the various clauses of the British Standards. It is expected that the student will have available either the full standards or the publication Extracts from British Standards for Students of Structural Design.
