Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers inside the design and construction of the 1890 Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Engineering Building, a technical marvel when it was first built. The book describes the building's innovative use of mill construction with cast-iron columns, wrought-iron beams, and wooden floors, discussing the structure's remarkable strength and resistance to vibration. Then it provides a glimpse into the building's initial use as a hub for mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and drawing instruction. The focus then shifts to the building's heating, ventilation, and hydraulic systems, explaining how the designers, working within spatial constraints, ingeniously adapted existing technologies to meet their needs. From the steam-powered fan that forced air through ducts to individual rooms to the novel siphon trap used to drain condensation, these systems demonstrate the author's innovative approach to engineering challenges. The book concludes by emphasizing that the building's enduring significance lies in its embodiment of late 19th-century architectural and engineering advancements, making it a valuable case study for understanding the history of technology and construction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330068250_0
