This textbook offers an introductory course to structural mechanics for architects, including problems and solutions. It follows a completely different approach to structural mechanics than the usual books for engineering schools, making it much more attractive for architecture students and practitioners. It also offers a different point of view for engineering students, as it provides them with a more intuitive understanding of structural mechanics and the models therein.Instead of studying the classical theory of linear elasticity and then particularizing it to simple structures, this book analyzes structures in a historic and also typological order. The book starts with cable structures and stone arches, followed by trusses and, finally, frame structures made of beams. For every typology, the latest, state-of-the-art theory in the field is introduced in a very didactic way.

El�as Cueto is professor of continuum and structural mechanics at the university of Zaragoza since 2010. His research has been devoted to the development of advanced numerical strategies for the simulation of complex phenomena. In particular, in the last years he has worked in model order reduction techniques and real-time simulation for computational surgery and augmented reality applications. His work has been recognized with the J. C. Simo award of the Spanish Society of Numerical Methods in Engineering, the European Scientific Association of Material Forming (ESAFORM) Scientific Prize, and the O.C. Zienkiewicz prize of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences, ECCOMAS, among others. He has published more than one hundred papers in the field and is from 2016 president of the Spanish Society of Numerical Methods in Engineering (SEMNI).

David Gonz�lez is Associate Professor of Continuum Mechanics in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Zaragoza. His research activity focuses mainly on the development of numerical methods for the simulation of multi-scale and multi-physics problems in the fields of applied sciences and engineering. This includes the development or the improvement at the theoretical level of techniques such as the Natural Element Method. More recently, the work of Prof. Gonz�lez has centred on the development of numerical techniques for multiscale simulation of materials, both solids and liquids. This line of research is based on the use of model reduction techniques, such as the Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) technique. These kinds of techniques allow the efficient simulating of problems defined in very high dimensional spaces (Schroedinger eq., kinetic theory approaches, among others). He has published more than fifty papers in the field.

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
