Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimating Concrete Buildings The actual procedure of concrete construction is still very far from approximating standard practice. Still less has there emerged any generally accepted system for keeping track of the individual cost of the innumerable items that enter into this type of work. Hence no satisfactory basis has been supplied for making estimates in advance of the actual undertaking. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimate Cost of a Concrete Building The necessity to know the cost of a structure, after the plans have been drawn up, is to put engineering designs and computations in language that the business man or layman is able to perceive instantly, if that is what is desired. Buildings, more than any other kind of structure require an estimated cost for the reason that the men most interested in its design and completion are not of an engineering profession and are not trained to think along mathematical lines. After the plans of a building have been conpiled by an Architect, it is an engineer's problem, not only to design the steel work, but at the end to make an investigation of the cost of the building, which will enable himself, or his employer, to select a contractor, whose figure most closely approaches the cost estimated. The same method as was used for the estimate of the foregoing plans may be used for a building of any size.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wright on Quantities: A Plea for a Better System of Estimating, Cost of Buildings in the United States Before touching on my subject this evening, may I say a word or two to those gentlemen present whom I have not the pleasure of knowing person-ally? Although an architect by profession, it may perhaps be stated that I have had opportunity of closely studying the practice of estimating upon bills of quantities, or, as it is more popularly termed, the Quantity System. Indeed, it is a subject in which I have always taken an active interest. I mention this, however, simply by way of explanation, which seems to be necessary, for I believe this is the first occasion in the history of San Francisco, and probably in the United States, when a practising architect has been honored with an invitation to address a body of contractors upon such a practical theme as Estimating - a subject which, perhaps, in some quarters, architects are not supposed to know much about, and I regard it as a good sign when a contractors organization is broad enough, and progressive enough, to invite an architect to address them upon such a practical and important topic. I regard the invitation as a great compliment. It gives me the greatest pleasure to be with you this evening, and I trust that we may have a full discussion of the subject at the close of my remarks.

Download or read book Reinforced Concrete Classic Reprint written by Albert Wells Buel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinforced Concrete is a text co-authored by Albert Wells Buel and C.S. Hill. This is an in depth work intended for those working in the construction industry. Reinforced Concrete is a detailed examination of the use of reinforced concrete in construction, and is aimed squarely at engineers involved in the design and production of large projects. The work is divided into three parts, with part one authored by Buel and parts two and three authored by Hill. Buel's opening section provides the reader with formulas for calculating the proper usage of reinforced concrete in buildings. From there, in part two, Hill outlines practical examples of reinforced concrete used in a variety of different scenarios, including building construction and cement storage tanks. The book closes with a detailed section on various methods of construction, addressing buildings, bridges, foundations, conduits, and more. Buel and Hill's work is a highly technical affair intended for the professional. It is a well written and thorough examination of reinforced concrete, although the authors do assume the reader is already comfortable with a range of engineering principles. Reinforced Concrete tackles its subject matter with gusto. The authors bring a sense of passion, making this a surprisingly pleasant read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimating Building Costs Learning to estimate buildings is not quite the same as learning a language, but it is often better to begin with a little book rather than a large one. This is a small book as compared with The New Building Estimator, of which twelve edi tions were issued up to date, but will be of great service to thousands who might at first consider the larger work too comprehensive. This book will act as a feeder to the other. An endeavor has been made here to present facts in plain language. I gained my knowledge of estimating through experience; but on looking back I can see how much time and guesswork would have been saved had I simply had a small reliable manual to give a fair idea of what others had accomplished in a certain number of hours; and what amount of material is required for the different parts of a building.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Reinforced Concrete Building Though many books have been published on the subject of reinforced concrete, none of them have hitherto dealt with the elementary underlying principles thereof in an introductory spirit. It was to meet the requirements of the rudimentary student that the articles which have now been put together in volume form were first prepared and published in the Building News. The book must, therefore, be considered as introductory rather than exhaustive it being intended to clear the ground for further investigation by such readers as may feel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reinforced Concrete Construction, Vol. 2: Retaining Walls and Buildings Volume I, which treats of the fundamental principles of rein forced-concrete construction, has been adopted as a text-book in a number of technical schools and it is quite probable that the present volume will be considered for the same purpose. Since, engineering courses are commonly subject to severe time limita tions, it is hardly to be expected that the entire book can be covered in class-work. The experienced instructor, however, will recognize at once that many parts of the text may be omitted without seriously interfering with the continuity of the subject.

Download or read book Reinforced Concrete Buildings written by Ernest L. Ransome and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reinforced Concrete Buildings: A Treatise on the History, Patents, Design and Erection of the Principal Parts This little volume is presented to the engineering profession for the purpose of showing what reinforced concrete is, and how it came to be what it is. In deciding upon the scope of the book, the authors have endeavored to select matters of interest to the mature and experienced engineer, and for that reason the ultimate result of the analysis has been treated in greater detail than the derivation itself. Many books on reinforced concrete have been written principally for the practical man or even for the untrained man; those who approve of that tendency will not approve of this book, in which all references to weights and dimensions, earth pressure, etc., have been avoided. The practicing engineer, the contractor, or even the college student should look for such matters in special "pocket books," and he must not expect the reinforced concrete book to furnish a complete encyclopedia on civil and hydraulic engineering. On the other hand, much matter has been included in this book which will be looked for in vain in other works, and this is especially true of Part I, where an account of the history of reinforced concrete has been given, with special reference to the patents granted by the United States. Naturally, a selection of the more important or interesting patents is a difficult matter, and most likely some readers will find that too much has been included, and others that not enough has been included. However this may be, the records of the patent office contain on the whole more and better information than any other source, and the engineer who is striving to attain perfection cannot afford to relegate the most valuable thoughts and results of his predecessors to the scrap heap.

This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Builders' Reliable Estimator and Contractors' Guide: A Complete Guide for Pricing All Builders' Work It is the fate of books on estimating for builders that they soon become somewhat unreliable, no matter how exact they may have been when first published. This is due to various reasons, - the continual fluctuations in the prices of labor, changes and introduction of new mate rials, new methods oi construction and style of building. Since this book was first published, the changes made in the cost of labor and in the selling price of material have been wonderful, and it may be said that buildings today are fully twenty-eight per cent more costly than they were when this book was first published. Recently prices have risen so high and at such a rate, that it has been found difficult to keep in touch with them. For three or four years past, contractors have either made or lost a lot of money, for they either have run up big prices, or, in sticking to conservative figures, have suffered losses to a considerable amount.
