I find the previous edition to be valuable in my design studio teaching. In this context, it is most useful as a quick reference for students to understand dimensional requirements for structural members and egress components, and to understand the differences among various HVAC systems. Its major strengths are (1) the structural tables for columns, beams and slabs of various materials--in my teaching, this is the most-used part of the book; (2) the code summaries including egress issues (egress paths, stairs, maximum travel distance, etc.), and (3) the diagrams and descriptions of different HVAC systems. However, some students have found difficulty navigating the code-related topics in the book. I don't have a good solution to this, but perhaps defining a workflow or thought process to follow would help: what type of building is it? > what is the floor area? > how many exits are needed? > how far apart do the exits need to be? > what is the minimum required width? > etc. I would appreciate more information about structural rules-of-thumb relating to cantilevers, deep trusses (story-high trusses), and lateral bracing. The inclusion of mass timber structures in the latest edition has been useful. Any new or more specific information related to timber would be appreciated. Yes, I do agree that information on embodied carbon impacts would be useful. I am not sure which variables affect this impact, but a table or a formula that can be used to compare the embodied carbon of different materials would be useful. I thin comparison is the key, and this information can then become one of the criteria used in selecting a structural material. -Scott Murray, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign I have used, and still do use, this text specific to my Structural Design Courses. Within the text, I focus on the first part dedicated to structural systems. I appreciated the addition of CLT in the sixth edition, as my students have had burgeoning interests in the material. Beyond that (and updated code), I have not noticed significant changes from the previous edition. This book remains an excellent guide for my students, especially in integrating realistic member sizes into their structural schemes in studio. The three major strengths of the text are: 1. Ease and accessibility of the text. Once I introduce how to use the text, students have an easy time in referencing it as they need it for their studio projects. 2. Depth of information provided both in the chapters that precede the member sizing charts and the chapter that includes the sizing charts. I often lean on the material discussion of lateral loads in Chapter 2 to supplement the information from the other texts used in my courses. 3. Integration of building system information within one source. Though I don�t spend a lot of time in class discussing other portions of the text, I do point out to students how comprehensive the text is and that they should know that beyond the three chapters that we focus on is a wealth of information for how other systems becomes integrated into a building, along with the structural system. The fact that this text also fully imbeds code is a significant reason why I require it. It does this (integrating code) in a very seamless fashion. I use this text for exactly what I need it for, and thus do not find it has any major weaknesses. I have wondered if additional material would be appropriate to include. For instance, would it be worthwhile to include in Chapter 2, an overview about how to approach other types of structural systems not delineated in the charts in Chapter 3 (e.g., space frames, vaults, domes, cable systems, etc.)? Also, would it be worthwhile to include at least a brief consideration in Chapter 1 or 2 about emerging technologies and where to look for information about emerging technologies/material advancements regarding structures? (In my mind, this sets up a teaser/pre-cursor to what the next edition might Proposal Summary Sheet include.) I would really appreciate if the text included dead load charts, even if they were in general range categories like the live load ones (p. 32-33). Otherwise, the most significant additions to new editions relates to updates in code. After that, it would be significant updates in structural materials (e.g., the addition of charts for CLT in the sixth edition). Many of my students are looking for sustainability gauges on structural materials and tend to cite the manufacturers of the products as opposed to an independent, non-partisan source. I could see this information being presented similar to those in Chapter 1, pages 24-29 (a criteria chart for sustainable initiatives based on different parameters). -Jennifer Barker, University of Memphis
