Synopsis

This book serves as an all-encompassing guide for aspiring engineers, particularly officers in the Royal Engineers. It delves into the fundamental principles of structural design, encompassing a wide array of structures such as barracks, stables, storehouses, bridges, and reservoir walls. The author expertly blends theoretical concepts with practical applications, providing readers with the necessary tools to analyse and design structures effectively. Mathematical proofs are strategically placed in appendices, allowing readers to delve deeper into the theoretical underpinnings without disrupting the flow of practical instruction. With a focus on materials commonly used in construction, including masonry, brickwork, concrete, timber, iron, and steel, the book offers valuable insights into their properties, strengths, and limitations. Numerous examples and case studies, often drawn from experiences abroad, illustrate the application of these principles in real-world scenarios. By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation, this book equips engineers with the expertise to design safe, efficient, and durable structures that stand the test of time.
