This text is an informative volume on the uses and applications of steel, primarily in architecture (high-rises and long-span building) but also in engineering (bridges and ribbed-structures), industrial design (furniture), and in art (sculpture). The book discusses the principles of building in steel using many well-known historical and contemporary examples ranging from the great halls of 19th-century Europe to today's high-tech architecture throughout the world. It also discusses the raw material, its properties, dimensioning, and surface treatment from rust protection to stainless and cortens steel, as well as its production methods from cast and wrought iron to rolled and cast steel. The book then focuses on the different applications of the material in structures, cladding and in the detailing of special components in contemporary buildings. It also presents different methods of joining steel components and combining steel with other materials such as masonry, wood, glass and fabric. Both the practical and aesthetic applications of steel are covered, and examples of the well-known work by architects, engineers and artists are included, such as Norman Foster, I.M. Pei, Santiago Calatrava and Richard Serra.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. With Steel, Structure, and Architecture, architect Arne Petter Eggen and engineer Bjorn Normann Sandaker have produced an informative, inspiring volume on the uses and applications of steel in architecture, engineering, industrial design and art. To illustrate steel's versatility the authors include many well-known examples of steel structures designed by Mies van der Rohe, I.M. Pei, Santiago Calatrava, Peter Rice, Norman Foster, Michael Hopkins, Eva Jiricna, Nicholas Grimshaw, and Ove Arup, among others. They discuss the properties of the material, production methods, dimensioning, and surface treatment, including rust protection, Cor-Ten, and stainless steel. Different methods of joining steel components are outlined, as are combinations of steel with other materials, like masonry, wood, glass, and fabric. Covering both the practical and esthetic uses of steel, Steel, Structure, and Architecture is an indispensable source for any serious practitioner or student of architecture, engineering, and design.
