Cyclopedia of Architecture, Carpentry and Building, Vol. 1: A General Reference Work (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the science of strength of materials, an essential element in ensuring the safety and longevity of structures in the natural and built environments. At the core of the book is the exploration of stress—the internal forces within a material caused by the application of external loads, and how a material's ability to withstand this stress determines its strength. The author explores various types of stress, including tension, compression, and shear, and how they impact different materials such as timber, steel, and concrete. The book delves into the concepts of elasticity and plastic deformation, and the factors that influence a material's elastic limit and ultimate strength. Through comprehensive explanations and practical examples, this book provides a systematic understanding of the principles of strength of materials, empowering readers with the knowledge to design and analyze structures that can withstand the rigors of everyday use.
