Iron Roofs: Examples of Design, Description, Illustrated With Working Drawings (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Iron Roofs offers practical insight into designing metal roofs for real-world buildings, with drawn examples you can study and apply.
The book gathers working drawings and practical commentary on iron roof design. It explains how to evaluate different roof systems, focusing on economy and safety without promising universal formulas. Readers will see how main ribs, trusses, and arches influence a roof’s performance, and how wind and loading affect the structure.
- Clear explanations of truss and arch forms and their influence on vertical and horizontal forces.
- Discussion of how to read and construct stress diagrams for various roof types.
- Illustrated examples, including the Bristol Joint-line Station roof, to show practical design choices.
- Guidance on when certain roof types are economical in different sites and conditions.
Ideal for engineers, students, and professionals who want a reference on real-world iron roof construction and analysis.
