Description
This book is intended for structural engineers and students. It provides an understanding of the current methods for the design of structures in Canada based on Canadian codes and standards. The book is based on human understanding, modelling and the application of the limit states method, as contained in Canadian codes/standards and other documents. The book contains seven Chapters:
1. Understanding and modelling in structural engineering practice and the limit states method
2. History of the development of structural modelling
3. Historical development of structural design codes and standards
4. Snow, wind and earthquake loads on buildings in the National Building Code of Canada
5. Floor vibration due to human activities (walking, aerobics, etc)
6. The application of the limit states method in the design of structures for durability
7. Human error in the design and evaluation of structures
