Structural Elements for Architects and Builders: Design of columns, beams, and tension elements
in wood, steel, and reinforced concrete by Jonathan Ochshorn

Concise but comprehensive, Structural Elements for Architects and Builders is primarily focused
on the design and analysis of structural elements: columns, beams, tension members and their
connections. The material is organized into a single, self-sufficient volume, including all
necessary data for the preliminary design and analysis of these structural elements in wood,
steel, and reinforced concrete.

Every chapter contains insights developed by the author and generally not found elsewhere.
Additionally, the Appendices included at the end of the text contain numerous tables and graphs,
based on material contained in industry publications, but reorganized and formatted especially
for this text to improve clarity and simplicity, without sacrificing comprehensiveness.

Based on the standards and codes from For timber: The American Institute of Timber Construction's
(AITC), The American Institute of Steel Construction's (AISC) The American Concrete Institute's
(ACI) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary (ACI 318 and ACI 318R) and
the American Society of Civil Engineers

Contains graphs, charts, and tables to solve basic structural design problems
Step-by-step illustrative examples
Cover common connectors such as nails, bolts, and welds
