A practical reference for engineers and architects designing with iron and wood

This volume gathers concise formulas and tables to help you calculate stresses, capacities, and structural behavior. It aims to translate complex theory into actionable data you can apply in everyday design work. The edition compiles essential data for beams, trusses, columns, and joints, along with miscellaneous metrics like weights and areas, to support fast, accurate calculations.

Use this as a ready source of reference when evaluating crushing, tearing, bending, and deflection in structural members. It covers common forms of rolled sections, connects to typical truss systems, and includes notes on practical construction considerations and safety factors.

Formulas for stresses, safety factors, and basic deflection concepts
Tables that detail capacities of beams and sections, moments of inertia, and related properties
Guidance on joints, bolts, nuts, and connection details for iron and wood constructions
Examples and tables to support quick calculations in design and assessment

Ideal for readers of classic engineering reference works who value compact, practical data for real-world design and analysis.
