Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Design and Construction of Roofs Fourteen years' experience with the State examinations for license to practise architecture in Illinois has clearly shown that applicants are usually able to determine the stresses in the members of roof trusses, but are frequently unable to dimension them accordingly or to connect them properly at the apexes of the trusses. The necessary formulas and data are scattered in numerous reference works, and their selection and exact application require more time than is allowed to the busy architect or engineer. Therefore the purpose of the present work is to supply the data, methods, formulas, and tables required in the design of a roof, arranged in the simplest manner and so as to require the least time and labor in their application. Many years spent in the instruction of students have shown the author that the study of a series of selected and fully solved examples is more useful in the training of the student than the mere memorizing of many rules and much good advice without frequent applications to practical cases. Twenty-five examples of roofs are treated in successive chapters, each chapter being confined to a single stage in the process, such as determining stresses, dimensioning members and detailing connections, estimating weights of trusses, etc. Only the methods of graphostatics required for roof trusses are first given, followed by a description of the parts of wooden and steel roofs, succeeded by the data and formulas required for computing loads on roofs. New formulas are given for the approximate weights of roof trusses, based on the careful design and calculation of numerous examples. It may surprise some readers to learn that steel trusses may be safely designed considerably lighter than those chiefly constructed of wood. An original formula is given for weight of snow, applicable to the United States, excepting the Pacific States. A simple formula for wind pressure must suffice until the actual conditions have been determined by extended experiments and research.

Download or read book A Treatise on the Design and Construction of Mill Buildings written by Henry Grattan Tyrrell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Design and Construction of Mill Buildings: And Other Industrial Plants This book is the outcome of a smaller one entitled Mill Build ing Construction, written in 1896 and given to the publishers in 1900. These books are based on the personal experience of the writer, covering a period of twenty years in designing and esti mating buildings, bridges and other structural work, and most of their contents is from his private notes and records. A separate part on The Theory of Economic Design was included in the present work because of the large amount of capi tal being invested in manufacturing plants. A knowledge of the possibilities and requirements should precede the design, and it is only by the exercise of such knowledge that the best results are Obtained. The introduction of Part I has caused some repetition, as subjects discussed generally in this part are treated more fully in Parts III and IV on details. The repetition, however, seems necessary for clearness, as the whole contents of one part would be out of place in the other. This is particularly the case in the chapters on framing of northern light and other roofs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building Construction and Superintendence, Vol. 3: Trussed Roofs and Roof Trusses The author desires to express his thanks to the publishers of the Engineering Record for the use of many illustrations from that excellent journal, and also to the several architects and manufacturers who have furnished him with working drawings from which many of the illustrations have been made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Roofs In Military Buildings especially, much repetition of identical type occurs - for instance, in a row of barrack blocks one roof truss may be repeated perhaps a hundred times; time is in such cases well spent on calculation of the roof to ensure the maximum of economy compatible with safety. In roof design the main basis of the calculation must be to a great extent empirical, and the result of calculation must necessarily be modified by practical requirements, so that great accuracy is out of place. It is the object of these notes to facilitate and simplify the calculation of roofs met with in ordinary daily practice.
