Structural Engineering, the majority of which are principally devoted to a consideration of the subject from the purely theoretical point of view, whilst a few others treat the subject mainly with regard to the practical arrangement of structural details. The subject is one of so wide a range that it is manifestly impossible to attempt anything like a comprehensive survey of structures generally in a single volume. Between the theoretical computation of the loads and stresses in a structure and the evolution of a satisfactory practical design which shall have due regard to the exigencies of practical construction, there exists a gap which may only be bridged by considerable practical experience and knowledge of shop methods. The Authors have endeavoured in the present volume to deal with the design of the more ordinary and commonly occurring structures from both points of view, and whilst necessarily stating the main outlines of theory involved, have extended the application of such theory to the practical design of a considerable variety of structures and structural details of everyday occurrence. The consideration of higher structures, such as rigid and two-hinged metal arches, suspension bridges, and structures of particular or unique character, has been intentionally omitted in order to make room for such examples as will be of interest to the majority of readers. It has been considered desirable to include a short summary of the properties of structural materials and weights of details in order that these may be readily available for reference in one volume, and the chapter on materials is not intended to supply other than a very brief compendium of the properties of materials. An extended acquaintance with these is very necessary to the structural designer, and such information in detail is readily accessible in treatises on materials. Wherever possibl

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the culmination of many years of practical and theoretical experience from the authors, who set out to explore the vast subject of structural engineering in a comprehensive volume. Inside, you'll find a wealth of knowledge on all the essential elements of structural design, from properties of stone, brick, lime, and cement through to the very latest in modern structural steel design. Throughout, the author explores the historical context of structural engineering, giving readers a complete picture of the subject's evolution. The book goes beyond merely listing facts and figures to give readers a deep understanding of the theories and concepts that underpin structural engineering. This approach will help professionals, students, and laypeople alike to engage with the material on a profound intellectual level. Ultimately, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone with an interest in structural engineering and is set to become a core text for lecturers and students alike.
