Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of iron in building construction, focusing primarily on cast-iron beams that support floors. The author, a renowned expert in the field, provides a historical overview of cast-iron beams, discussing their development and the experiments that led to improvements in their design. The book delves into the strengths and limitations of cast-iron beams, presenting the results of rigorous testing to determine their breaking points and resistance to deformation. The author also examines the concept of truss beams, which combine cast iron with wrought iron for increased strength. Through detailed analysis, the book highlights the challenges associated with truss beams, revealing the difficulties in balancing the tension of the wrought iron rods with the compression resistance of the cast iron. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the design and construction of cast-iron beams, emphasizing the importance of understanding their material properties and the factors that affect their performance. By presenting experimental evidence and practical guidance, this book serves as an essential resource for engineers and architects involved in the construction of fireproof buildings. Its comprehensive examination of cast-iron beams contributes to a deeper understanding of their role in the history of building materials and structural engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
