Introduction to the Mechanical Principles of Carpentry: In Two Parts: Par I. Strength and Stiffness of Timber, Part II. Static Applied to Constructions of Timber (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of carpentry, written for young men with limited mathematical knowledge. It was written at a time when the field of carpentry was undergoing a shift toward a more scientific approach, and the author sought to bridge the gap between traditional practice and the burgeoning field of mechanics. Drawing upon the work of leading figures such as Dr. Robison and Mr. Tredgold, the author examines the strength and stiffness of various types of timber, explaining how these properties are affected by factors such as grain, length, depth, and breadth. He provides detailed explanations of how to apply these principles to the construction of various structures, including roofs, floors, and partitions, and concludes with a discussion of joints, straps, and other carpentry techniques. This book offers valuable insights into the science behind carpentry, making it an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the principles behind building strong, durable structures.
