This book presents a comprehensive array of formulas and tables for calculating the different strains and strengths of structures in iron or wood. Meant as a ready reference for architects and engineers, it covers the topics of: moments of inertia and resistance of various sections; strength of materials like beams, pillars, and struts; and strains in frames, trusses, and trussed beams. Unlike most others like it at the time, the author provides an extensive treatment of trusses with parallel booms and of parabolic arched beams and ribs. Altogether, the formulas and constants the author collected and presented in this book aimed to advance the then-current state of architectural and engineering practice.
