Description:
This is an upper-division text for courses on scenic structure and a professional handbook for theater technicians. The book provides the background and technical foundation for an intuitive understanding of 'why sets stand up' for theatrical technicians.
It introduces the basics of statistics and the study of strength of materials as they apply to typical theatrical scenery. This is done using many real-life theatrical examples and a 'how-to' approach with a minimum of theory. It exposes the students to the language of the structural engineer so that they will be able to carry on a knowledgeable conversation with a consulting engineer on a major production.
Features: many real-life examples with a 'how-to' approach; numerous lookup tables taken from construction and engineering reference works; eight appendices, which list reference and design values for plywood and steel in various types, configurations and weight loads. ©1999, 432 pages.
