About this ebook
Salvadori's Structure in Architecture: The Building of Buildings, 4th Edition by Mario Salvadori, Robert Heller, and Deborah Oakley is organized into three main sections covering the non-mathematical, conceptual principles of structural mechanics and building forms. [1, 2, 3]
Part I: Fundamental Concepts
  • Structure in Architecture: Introduction to the role and purpose of structures.
  • Building Loads and Codes: How forces and external regulations shape design.
  • Structural Materials: Physical properties of common building materials.
  • Structural Requirements: Stability, strength, and stiffness basics.
  • Basic States of Stress: Tension, compression, shear, and bending. [1, 2]
Part II: Structural Forms
  • Tension and Compression Structures: Cables, suspensions, piers, and columns.
  • Beams: Behavior, bending moments, and the moment of inertia.
  • Frames and Arches: Rigid frames, arches, and lateral load handling.
  • Some Fine Points of Structural Behavior: Redundancy, continuity, and internal forces. [1, 2]
Part III: Beyond the Basics
  • Grids, Plates, Folded Plates, and Space-Frames: Multi-directional and planar spanning systems.
  • Membranes: Lightweight surface structures.
  • Thin Shells and Reticulated Domes: Curved and double-curved surface geometries.
  • Structural Failures: Case studies and lessons from how and why structures break.
  • Structural Aesthetics: The visual expression of structural logic.
  • Conclusion: Summary of core structural principles. [1, 2]
