Structural Mechanics: Comprising The Strength And Resistance Of Materials And Elements Of Structural Design (1905)

Structural Mechanics: Comprising The Strength And Resistance Of Materials And Elements Of Structural Design is a book written by Charles E. Greene and first published in 1905. The book explores the fundamental principles of structural mechanics, including the strength and resistance of materials, as well as the elements of structural design. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific topic related to structural mechanics. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject, while the second chapter focuses on the properties of materials used in construction. The following chapters cover topics such as stress and strain, shear and bending moments, and the design of beams and columns. The book also includes chapters on the design of trusses, arches, and suspension bridges, as well as an introduction to the principles of hydraulics and the design of hydraulic structures. Throughout the book, Greene provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and principles discussed.Overall, Structural Mechanics: Comprising The Strength And Resistance Of Materials And Elements Of Structural Design is a comprehensive guide to the principles of structural mechanics and design, making it a valuable resource for engineers, architects, and anyone else involved in the construction industry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
