Synopsis

PREFACE. IN order to facilitate the calculation attending the construc- tion of Wrought Iron and Steel Riveted Girders, the author has endeavored in this work to supply the linkwhich separates Theory from Practice. Its object may be briefly stated. A riveted girder is to be designed the span, depth, and loads are known, the strains are calculated b the well-known bendingmoment formulae, and largely by the graphic method lastly, the details of construction are fully illustrated. Touching the question of accuracy, it is scarcely necessary to notice the slight difference that may arise between the two methods, i.e., working out the usual formulae, or by measuring from the graphic diagrams. The time consumed in wading through a complicated series of equations to reach a few meas- urements is objectionable when at least such measurements can at once be had by the graphic method. This work does not investigate exceptional or extremely scientific riveted girders, but more especially those of a type now extensively adopted and constructed by well-known architectural iron workers. The diagrams and the various examples explaining the Authors method are submitted to architects and architectural students with the hope that they will become a medium of usefulness to them in the routine of office work.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
