Book excerpt: This report was prepared by the National Bureau of Standards of the U. S. Department of Commerce.Strength of houses in the past has been made adequate by patterning them after those which have withstood the test of service conditions. Architects and builders of small structures have followed closely traditional methods handed down from the craftsmen of medieval England. From these traditions, cities have crystallized building codes now enforced under the police power of the community.The trend for the immediate future seems to indicate houses so constructed as to contribute in greater measure to the welfare of the occupants by bringing more of the out-of-doors into the house. Wider windows to give more sunlight and allow stimulating vistas of garden, trees, and flowing water; larger rooms and movable partitions; and walls, floors, and roofs fabricated from plastics and from aluminum and magnesium alloys are some of the improvements anticipated.Library research failed to disclose rational methods for determining the strength of present-day houses and little in that respect that could be applied to house design for the future. This report is an attempt to apply engineering methods to the design of houses for strength. Fundamental data for wind, snow, and floor loads have been reviewed and convenient methods developed for computing applied loads.The engineering approach to strength of houses described in this report will open the way for designers to introduce unconventional materials and unusual methods of fabrication by determining in the laboratory whether constructions have the necessary strengths, thus greatly shortening the time required to develop and obtain acceptance of new constructions for houses.Some approach along rational lines is necessary if houses are to benefit from the fund of technical information now available on materials and methods of manufacture being utilized for other commodities.It is time that the strength of houses be given careful engineering scrutiny --not because houses need to be stronger, for a few fail-- but to judge how much material is superfluous. Material is costly as is the labor required to shape and fit it into place.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Astrology written by M. Ramakrishna Bhat and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrology is both Science and Art. Hence only the talented can appreciate and understand it. Rightly Visnugupta declares that nobody other than a sage can master the ocean-like science of astrology. The great Varahamihira declares, "No sin will creep into a place that is sanctified by the presence of a true astrologer. No person who studies and divines the course of destiny will ever be found in hell but will reside permanently in the world of Brahman. This book brings to the fore not only the rationality of astrology but also the nature and structure of the correct knowledge that our forefathers possessed regarding the predictable influences of planets on human beings, and gives a spiritual bias to astrology. The reader is taken step by step in this work from the rudiments Viz., the distribution of constellations in the Zodiacal belt which is divided into twelve Signs, and the planetary hierarchy, through the method of calculating the ascendant and other houses of a natal chart, assessment of the strengths, influences, aspects, affliction, mutual relations etc., of the planets, to the final stage of reading the brighter and darker sides of the subject's life, his chances of success and failure, their periods, ingress of the soul into the mortal coil and exit there form as well as its departure to other worlds according to its karma. "In this book, an attempt has been made to give a good account of the science of astrology, with a view to making the reader a good and true astrologer. It also shows that astrology does not make a man a fatalist, helpless automation in the hands of a merciless Fate. It should, on the other hand, help him to take to self-exertion and self-help. This hoary lore, according to the author, is to be practised not for selfish ends but to guide the needy and the distressed, to remove the cause of their suffering and to turn their attention towards God.
