About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Loads in Structures; Properties of Sections; Materials of Structural Engineering; Beams and Girders; Columns and Struts; Details of Construction; Graphical Analysis of Stresses<br/><br/>Two of the volumes composing this library, of which this is the first, are devoted to structural engineering. It has been our aim to present the fundamental laws that serve as a basis for structural engineering, in as clear and concise a manner as possible, thus assuring a thorough under standing of the succeeding and more difficult papers in which these laws are applied. The present volume deals mainly with the laws of stresses, that is, with the methods for ascertaining their magnitude, direction, and points of application, both the analytical and the graphical methods being used. Other papers, perhaps of equal importance, are those which treat of the means for distributing the stresses; they consider not only the material most suitable for the purpose. But also the most efficient and economical shape in which to arrange the material. It may be added that of the subjects here mentioned, some are perhaps treated in a more thorough and simple manner than is to be found in any other treatise; we refer in particular to the papers entitled Beams and Girders and Columns and Struts. The method of numbering the pages, cuts, articles, etc. Is such that each subject or part, when the subject is divided into two or more parts, is complete in itself; hence, in order to make the index intelligible, it was necessary to give each subject or part a number. This number is placed at the top of each page, on the headline, opposite the page number; and to distinguish it from the page number it is preceded by the printer's section mark Consequently, a reference such as 16, page 26, will be readily found by looking along the inside edges of the headlines until 16 is found, and then through 16 until page 26 is found....

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
