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.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Construction of Iron Roofs: A Theoretical and Practical Treatise Roofs may be divided into two principal classes: roofs proper and domes. In the former class we include those supported by arched structures, lattice girders, and trusses. The second comprises the various forms of domes. The greater number of roofs belong to the first class, and we find that roofs of small span are usually carried by trusses simply, whereas, in the case of larger roofs, the small trusses are sometimes supported by lattice girders. Arches are also used for roofs of considerable span. With regard to the materials and arrangements employed in the coverings of roofs, it is unnecessary in the present volume to consider them, as these matters of detail have been fully shown in the previous volumes of the present work; hence the ribs, principals, or girders, only require to be treated of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book on Roofs and Bridges, Vol. 4: Higher Structures Parts I, II, and III of this text-book are devoted almost entirely to framed structures having two supports whose teac tions are vertical. These probably constitute more than ninety per cent of all roof and bridge trusses, and hence should claim the greater part of the time of the student. In this volume are discussed those structures which have more than two supports, as continuous, draw and cantilever bridges, or which have two supports whose reactions are not vertical, as the suspension and arched systems.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book on Roofs and Bridges, Vol. 1: Stresses in Simple Trusses The plan adopted in arranging this text-book on the computa tion of stresses is similar to that followed in the author's Mechanics of Materials. The principles and methods are first established, and then numerous numerical examples are fully worked out to illustrate them and their application to different forms of trusses, while a number of problems are stated as exercises for the student. As no work is so valuable to a student as that done by himself, it is recommended that the solutions of these problems should be carefully written in ink in a note-book used for this purpose only.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Download or read book Culturgeschichtliche Novellen written by W. H. Riehl and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

He should know the difference in the strength of a girder carry ing a given load at its centre, or uniformly distributed. In the ordinary kinds of wooden or iron roof trusses, and framed structures of a similar description, he should be able to distinguish the members in compression from those in tension. He should be able, in the case of a concentrated or uniform load upon any part of a beam supported at both ends, to ascertain the proportion of the load transmitted to each point of support.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book on Roofs and Bridges, Vol. 2: Graphic Statics The universal approbation expressed concerning the utility of the blank leaves in Part I leads me to insert them in this volume also. On these pages students may record in permanent form the numerical computations which are always requisite preparatory to graphical analysis, and also make free hand sketches of some of the stress diagrams required in the problems. But I regard it as essential that a few well chosen cases shall be thoroughly and completely worked out as indicated on the plates, which show the manner in which for many years I have required students to finish drawings in Graphic Statics. Here, as in Part I, the minimum as well as the maximum stresses are determined for most of the examples, and all varieties of load ing are treated so that students may be able to work in accord ance with all kinds of specifications.
