Excerpt from Notes on Building Construction<br/><br/>The great advantage of using simple graphic methods instead of elaborate calculations is that the former, if in correctly carried out, at once proclaim the fact by the polygons of forces refusing to close, so that an error has to be faced at once and rectified; whereas an error in a figure, or even of a decimal point, in calculations quite correct in other respects, may escape notice, and lead to an utterly erroneous result, which, if acted upon, may eu danger the stability of the structure to which it is applied. It is hoped that this volume will be found to explain not only the calculations that may be called for in the Honours Examination at South Kensington, but also all that can possibly be required in connection with ordinary buildings. Upon the more complicated engineering strue tures it does not profess to enter.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the calculations required to determine the safe dimensions of various construction materials subjected to stresses and loads. The author, an expert in civil engineering, provides a thorough examination of concepts such as breaking load vs working load. The book is well-suited for practicing engineers and engineering students seeking to enhance their understanding of calculating structures. It serves as a valuable guide to the complex world of structural design, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
