This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Volume Changes in Brick Masonry Materials It is reasonable to assume that the tendency of a mortar to remain bonded under any and all conditions is greater, the smaller its volume changes, provided, of course, that the masonry unit to which it adheres undergoes little or no expansion or contraction. In other words, by reducing to the lowest possible minimum the differential volume changes in unit masonry the life of the bond should be increased. Increasing the life of the bond between mortar and units should help in part at least to reduce water penetration through the masonry.

While, therefore, its letterpress descriptive matter will be found as full as the plan of the work and the Space at command admits Of, a glance at its pages will Show that this also is the characteristic Of its illustrations. More, indeed, may be said than this 3 for the diagrams in wood alone, independently altogether of the accompanying volume of Plates, are numerous to an extent seldom seen in works Of the class. From this point Of View, indeed, it may be said to stand alone in this class Of literature which is mainly addressed to students Of the practical arts, or to those students who, without intending to carry out practically any of its departments, may have a desire to become acquainted with the subjects in a general way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masonry Structures The term Masonry has been construed to include concrete, and the field covered by the title is a very wide one. It has therefore been necessary to select for discussion those types which seem most adequately to illustrate the principles, and no attempt has been made to cover fully the details of all classes of masonry structures. The purpose has been to provide an introduction to the subject, which may later be followed by intensive study in more detailed works upon the various branches. This gives a general view of the subject as a whole, and is the natural method of approach. The Author has derived much assistance from a number of books which deal more fully with various portions of the subject. These are mentioned at the ends of articles or chapters to which they specially relate. They should be studied by students desiring a more complete presentation of the subject. Special acknowledgment is also due to Professors A. Lincoln Hyde and Guy D. Newton of the University of Missouri for reading and criticising portions of the manuscript and for assistance in pre paring the illustrations.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shear Tests of Reinforced Brick Masonry Beams The beams were built by two masons working together. The masons were instructed to produce masonry having the spaces between the bricks well filled with mortar, Without specifying the method. The method of filling the vertical joints by Slushing the mortar rather than by shoving the bricks was chosen by the masons. During the building of the beams one of the masons was cautioned not to furrow the horizontal beds While the other made smooth spread beds Without special effort. Although these masons had no previous experience with reinforced brickwork, the two masons and one help er built the last 12 beams and 12 piers at the rate of one beam and one pier per 3% hours.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Masonry, Bricklaying and Plastering, Both Plain and Ornamental: Containing a New and Complete System of Lines for Stone-Cutting In submitting the present Volume to the Public, we have to offer our grateful acknowledgments for the very favourable reception which the previous work on Carpentry and Joinery has met with, and we feel much gratified in having been, in an eminent degree, successful in our endeavours to unfold and elucidate the scientific Principles and Practical Application of those Arts which have the object of employing Wood in the construction of Buildings: we now proceed to develope, in a similar manner, the scientific Frinciples and Practice of the Arts of Construction, using other materials, and particularly the important Arts of Masonry and Bricklaying, and also the Ornamental Art of Plastering. Our plan consists in separately treating the Arts of Construction, and elucidating them by grouping together those principal branches which have a natural relation to each other, and which require similar operations, and in which a workman in the one always has an advantage in knowing the principles of the others; and we are the more powerfully encouraged to proceed in it, by the knowledge that this plan is as new as it will be found useful, and we trust the Work itself will bear the palm, as well for originality and beauty, as for its practical utility. The nature of our Work will be more fully understood from the following short sketch of its plan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stresses in Masonry This little work supplies, I believe, a felt want. Elementary treatises on steel-work are numerous, but a brief yet comprehensive account of the stresses in masonry has not yet, to my knowledge, been produced. I have assumed that the reader is familiar with mathematics only up to quadratics, all more advanced matter being relegated to foot-notes. Also I have assumed that a knowledge of stresses in steel, such as is possessed by the majority of young engineers and architects in practice, is at the reader's disposal. Beyond this, I have endeavoured to make the matter as simple as possible, eliminating complex theory which may be a little more accurate, but does not adapt itself to design.

Download or read book Practical Masonry Classic Reprint written by Edward Shaw and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Masonry Most works on this subject set out witu a description of all the minutiae of the art of building; and though they may, perhaps, exhibit something that will be useful to the apprentice, yet they contain much that is of no importance to the practical mechanic; while the price is so much enhanced, that few can well afford to possess them. As permanency in building seems, at the present day, to be an object more desirable than formerly, it has been thought that a brief account of the nature and qualities of building materials, with a short exposition of their component parts, would not be misplaced in a treatise of this kind. The Compiler flatters himself, that he has, on this head, furnished some informa tion, that will be serviceable not only to the operator but to the proprietor; neither of whom can, with safety, remain unacquainted with the quality of the materials employed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brick, Stone, and Plaster: Common Brickwork, Face and Ornamental Brickwork, Architectural Terra Cotta, Hollow Tile, Building Stone, Plastering The volumes of the International Library of Technology are made up of Instruction Papers, or Sections, comprising the various courses of instruction for students of the International Correspondence Schools. The original manuscripts are pre pared by persons thoroughly qualified both technically and by experience to write with authority, and in many cases they are regularly employed elsewhere in practical work as experts. The manuscripts are then carefully edited to make them suit able for correspondence instruction. The Instruction Papers are written clearly and in the simplest language possible, so as to make them readily understood by all students. Necessary technical expressions are clearly explained when introduced. The great majority of our students wish to prepare them selves for advancement in their vocations or to qualify for more congenial occupations. Usually they are employed and able to devote only a few hours a day to study. Therefore every effort must be made to give them practical and accurate information in clear and concise form and to make this infor mation include all of the essentials but none of the non essentials. To make the text clear, illustrations are used freely. These illustrations are especially made by our own Illustrating Department in order to adapt them fully to the requirements of the text. In the table Of contents that immediately follows are given the titles of the Sections included in this volume, and under each title are listed the main topics discussed.
