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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masonry: An Elementary Text-Book for Students in Trade Schools and Apprentices This book, has been written with the object of giving the greatest amount of information to the practical student, whilst keeping in view the requirements of the City and Guilds Examining Authorities. Examples of Stereotomy have been added, with the hope that they will prove of service to all engaged in the craft, either as draughtsmen or craftsmen. The Author hopes at a later date to extend the scope of the work to include marble masonry and interior decoration, together with more advanced examples in stereotomy and the Statics of Construction. It is assumed that the reader has some knowledge of practical geometry and mathematics; but the examples are described and illustrated as clearly as possible, to enable the reader who has not this knowledge to follow the method of working. The Author, who is a practical mason, has had many years experience in Building work, and has taught the subject of Masonry at several of our London Polytechnics. He wishes to express his thanks to Mr. H. W. Richards, Principal L.C.C. School of Building, Brixton, his earliest teacher, who imbued him with that quest after information, without which this book would not have been attempted. To Mr. E. Burlington for his kindly criticisms and valuable suggestions, and also for his overlooking the final proofs and arrangement of the index. The City and Guilds of London Institute for their permission to reprint the examination papers, and the publishers for their suggestions and assistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Brick and Tile Book The preparation of this little work has necessarily es. tended over a considerable period of time, and, although our limits preclude anything like an attempt at a complete view of the principles and practice of Brickmaking, it will be found to contain much practical information which has never yet been published, and descriptions of processes which are little known beyond the localities where they are practised. The whole of the illustrations have been drawn expressly for the work, and the descriptions of tools and processes have been written from personal observation, no dependence having been placed on verbal description, even by experienced workmen. Working brickmakers are mostly illiterate men, unable to describe correctly their own operations, and still less to explain their meaning. I have therefore considered it necessary to have every process here described carefully watched throughout, either by myself or by some one on whose accuracy of observation I could place dependence. In the course of last autumn I drew up several papers of questions, embracing a variety of points on which it was found difficult to obtain correct information, but which were distributed amongst those of my friends who were likely to have opportunities of ascertaining what was required.

Download or read book Masonry Structures Classic Reprint written by Frederick Putman Spalding and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 422 pages. 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.

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.

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 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.
