Product Description

Review

′Philip Garrison approaches the subject in a gentle user–friendly style with clear explanations and numerous explanatory diagrams supported by well–worked examples and a number of exercises.′ Building Engineer January 2006


′This book is well thought out, well written and would provide a good introduction to basic principles.It is aimed at those just starting their studies, but would be useful to those requiring a recap of first principles.′ The Structural Engineer Augsut 2006



Product Description

This book provides students of civil engineering and architecture with a grounding in the fundamentals of structures, and a ′feel′ for the way buildings behave structurally. The book aims to explain structural concepts clearly, using analogies and examples to illustrate the points, and it expresses mathematical aspects of the subject in a straightforward way.

Fully worked solutions to examples available online for readers. Please see www.blackwellpublishing.com/garrison/

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, 23 Nov 2006
By Fiona (England) - See all my reviews
I'm a first year civil engineering student, struggling with structures. Then I found this book in a bookshop and bought it even though I'd never heard of either the book or the author. I'm so glad I did! It's the most unusual text book I've ever come across; it's like Philip Garrison's chatting to you and, almost incidentally, helping you to understand structures. By the time I'd finished the book - which I read almost cover to cover - not only did I have a much better grasp of stresses, bending moments and all that stuff, but I felt like I knew the author personally. When's he going to bring out the sequel?!
