Synopsis
Master the fundamentals of construction materials and their safe use.
This classic engineering text explains how iron, steel, and timber behave in real structures and how to determine safe working stresses. It emphasizes clear principles, practical design, and illustrative examples you can apply to modern projects.
Originally written as a teaching resource, it guides students and practicing engineers through strength, elasticity, and the methods used to analyze and design structures. The author combines theory with hands-on examples drawn from actual works, helping readers understand how to size members, check safety, and translate calculations into reliable designs.
- Foundational coverage of strength, elasticity, and safe working stresses in iron, steel, and timber
- Step-by-step design examples illustrating key structural classes and connections
- Discussion of testing methods, graphs, and practical calculations used in engineering practice
- Accessible guidance for students in technical colleges and for professionals designing constructional work
Ideal for readers of engineering history and practitioners seeking a time-tested framework for designing safe and efficient structures.
