Synopsis
Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Modern Framed Structures: Designed for the Use of Schools, and for Engineers in Professional Practice
IT is now less than fifty years since the first successful attempt was made to correctly analyze the stresses in a framed structure and to proportion the members to resist the given external forces.* In this comparatively short period the rational designing of framed structures has ripened into practical perfection, and the best current practice leaves little to be desired in the way of further development. The only material uncertainties remaining are the dynamic effects of moving loads, and these will probably never submit themselves to any very accurate determination or prediction. This would seem to be a fitting time, therefore, for the presentation to the engineering profession of a general treatise on Modern Framed Structures.
The evolution of methods of analysis and of construction has been so rapid during this generating period that no sooner has a work on structures appeared than it has been found to be behind the current practice and no longer representative. It is believed that this rapid evolution of new methods has about run its course, and that we have now settled upon a line of practice, both in analysis and in construction, which will be reasonably fixed so long as the materials employed remain as they are to-day. It was this conviction that led the authors of this work to undertake the task of presenting the subject in as concise and inclusive a form as possible, to serve at once the needs of the student and of the practitioner.
This work is something of a compendium, a text-book, and a designer's hand-book, all in one. As a compendium it is intended to cover a great deal of ground without going too much into details which are found in standard works on mathematics and mechanics. As a text book it is intended to serve as the student's manual in framed structures, after he has had a course in mathematics and mechanics. As a designer's hand-book it is intended to contain such ready information as any competent designer must constantly use, but which he does not care to burden his mind with.

The Theory and Practice of Modern Framed Structures (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The science of framed structures provides a framework for designing sturdy and safe structures. The author examines the history of framework, with the first examples emerging in the 18th century. The theoretical evolution of the field is recounted, focusing on the innovators, and their methods for analyzing the forces acting on structures. The author examines the ways in which external forces impact the integrity of framed structures, and provides problem-solving examples to illustrate the concepts presented in the book. These range from reaction forces, to the weight of a structure and wind resistance. Moving from theory to practical application, the book also examines the finer points of structural engineering: how to calculate stress along different axes, how to account for compression forces, and how to establish a margin of safety to ensure the structure will not become deformed. The book concludes by proposing new formulas that enhance the accuracy of short column versus long column stress calculations, and give greater factors of safety for short columns. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
