The book employs a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative approach, supported by illustrative diagrams throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClearly structured, the chapters guide readers from simple to complex concepts with new topics building on previous chapters. As a practical reference, the book equips readers with a solid understanding of universal structural principles, enabling safe conceptual and preliminary designs irrespective of the design code being used.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt will also assist readers in interpreting and verifying computer-generated outputs. As the first volume in a two-book series, this title introduces fundamental concepts in structural engineering, including equilibrium and deformation analysis for both statically determinate and indeterminate structures. It explores the behaviour and design of beams, frames, arches and cables, including prestressing from an engineering perspective. Additionally, it examines cable structures such as suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, as well as stress-ribbons.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second volume progresses to more advanced topics of spatial structural systems, foundations and dynamics. Understanding and Designing Structures without a Computer: Plane Structural Systems is an accessible and authoritative resource for readers of all experience levels, fostering a clear understanding of structural behaviour without reliance on computer models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Leonidas Stavridis\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Structural Engineering and Design at National Technical University of Athens, Greece.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDr Konstantinos Georgiadis MEng, MSc., PhD DIC, CEng, MICE\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Chartered Senior Bridge Engineer at Arup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 9.7 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53329277092147,"sku":"9781836629412","price":161.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/WDMWvo5bqK9781836629412.webp?v=1778162122","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/understanding-and-designing-structures-without-a-computer-plane-structural-systems-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
