Structural Design of Egyptian Pyramids
(OP)
Dear All,
I was wondering if anyone has done a research on the structural design of Egyptian Pyramids.
I am interested in the design, looking forth to design a similar type of structure on modern lines.
Your input is highly appreciated as always.

I remember seeing a diagram about a pyramid (not one of the great pyramids) that changed its angle of inclination halfway through construction because they were having issues. They then went onto explain why the other angle (the one used for the great pyramids) is more efficient.
I'm going completely off of memory. So, I could be thinking about a different book....
For the rest of you who like these types of books, one of my favorites is "The History of Strength of Materials" by Timoshenko. It's a bit dry, but it's also really interesting to get engineering biographies of Euler, Young, Kirchoff, Mohr, and such.
