Synopsis

Essential formulas and tables for calculating structural strains and capacities in iron and wood that translate classic engineering methods into practical, ready‑to‑use data.

This edition compiles key results and transformation rules into accessible formulas and extensive tables, aligned with common industry practices of its era.

The book covers the core tools you need for design and analysis, including how to determine strains, capacities, and deflections. It also provides ready references for weights, areas, and dimensions, plus conventions for combining loads and assessing stability in practical structures.

• Capacity and strength figures for beams, trusses, and sections
• Formulas for moments of inertia, bending and shear, and cross‑breaking resistance
• Tables for weights, areas, and lengths, plus trigonometrical functions and circle geometry

Ideal for readers who are building, inspecting, or teaching foundational structural methods and who value time‑saving reference data grounded in established theory.
