This book presents comparative design as an approach to the conceptual design of structures. Primarily focusing on reasonable structural performance; sustainable development and architectural aesthetics; it features detailed studies of structural performance through the composition and de-composition of these elements for a variety of structures; such as high-rise buildings; long-span crossings and spatial structures. The latter part of the book addresses the theoretical basis and practical implementation of knowledge engineering in structural design; and a case-based fuzzy reasoning method is introduced to illustrate the concept and method of intelligent design. The book is intended for civil engineers; structural designers and architects; as well as senior undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering and architecture. Lin Shaopei and Huang Zhen are both Professors at the Department of Civil Engineering; Shanghai Jiao Tong University; China.
