The seventh edition of Simplified Design of Steel Structures is an excellent reference for architects and engineers who need information about the common uses of steel for the structures of buildings. The clear and concise format benefits readers who have limited backgrounds in mathematics and engineering. This new edition has been updated to reflect changes in standards, industry technology, and construction practices, including new research in the field, examples of general building structural systems, and the use of computers in structural design. Specifically, Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) are now covered.

A concise, highly accessible source for site engineeringbasics. This updated edition of Parker's classic text introduces the basicissues, tasks, and problems of site engineering to students andprofessionals who need to understand the significance of surveyingdata. It presents the fundamentals of site engineering --surveyingand mapping, drainage, slope stabilization, and basic structures--and explains in detail the solutions to a wide variety ofproblems, including: * Interpretation of deed descriptions * Dimensioning buildings and sites when angles are other than rightangles * Computing areas for irregular plots * Dimensioning and laying out circular curves for driveways andbuildings * And much more. Featuring a simplified, accessible style with numerous examples ofproblems and their solutions, as well as references and practicalaids that facilitate home study, this is the ideal surveying andsite-planning primer for students in architecture, landscapearchitecture, and civil and structural engineering. It is also anexcellent handbook for working architects, building contractors,and professionals in related fields.

Simplified Design of Wood Structures (Parker/Ambrose Series of Simplified Design Guides)

The Sixth Edition of the standard work on designing with structural steel covers the many forms of structural steel such as decks and bar joists, and discusses the use of ``off-the-shelf'' steel components and systems. This comprehensive has been updated to cover new practices, including extended coverage of computer-aided design. New chapters lead readers through the design of actual buildings using steel, and the text reflects revised codes and building systems.

The Sixth Edition of Harry Parker's well-known and widely used book brings you the latest in current codes, design standards and industry practices--all in one easy-to-use volume. New topics have been added to the discussions including concrete frames, tilt-up walls and structural masonry with concrete units. A completely new chapter features design examples of structural systems for three different types of buildings. The coverage and style retain the continuity and flow of the popular past editions, and new exercise problems and answers to both general questions and numerical exercises are provided for self-evaluation.

Simplified Design of Concrete Structures (Parker/Ambrose Series of Simplified Design Guides)

Offers fundamental, practical information in the fields of mechanics and strength of materials, emphasizing elementary structural theory. Revised and expanded to incorporate more specific illustrations of determinate work in the design and investigation of building structures. Features the latest data on indeterminate structures as well as computer applications. Examples utilize elements taken from realistic situations instead of abstract geometric shapes.

Simplified Mechanics and Strength of Materials, 5th Edition

The updated version of this classic text explains the principles involved in the design of concrete structure buildings and summarizes the primary requirements of current building codes. Developed for self-study use as well as classroom instruction, this book requires little mathematical or engineering expertise. Example calculations are given for the practical design of contemporary structures.
