Comparison of Experiments on American and Foreign Building Stones, to Determine Their Relative Strength and Durability - Softcover
Synopsis
This book compares the architectural strength and durability of various building materials from around the world. The author's experiments are set against the backdrop of historical and internationally significant edifices as well as rocks "kept down to a level with the ground" by the ceaseless forces of nature. The author seeks to understand the exact relationship between a material's composition and its ability to withstand weathering. The text also includes analysis of the findings of other researchers, including comparative testing on American and foreign stones. By proposing a possible law relating an object's strength to its dimensions, the author provides valuable insights for today's engineers and architects seeking durable and resilient construction materials.
