Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of the Flexure and Strength of Rectangular Flat Plates Applied to Reinforced Concrete Floor Slabs In reviewing the history of every type of structural work, we find the designing engineer influenced in his first attempts at any new type of structure by his knowledge of the practical forms of construction with which he is already familiar. In fact until very recent times precedent was the engineers sole guide. It was to be expected therefore that the pioneers in concrete-steel construction should follow and closely imitate timber and structural steel construction. In following this type, the idea has been to build up the structure as a whole by assembling and joining together a number of independent elements or units: whereas concrete, with or without reinforcement, is a kind of material that is best suited by its nature to construction in monolithic form. But when the attempt has been made to treat such structures theoretically, preconceived ideas have led to the effort to treat them by analysing them into separate members and computing the strength of these arbitrarily selected units, assumed to act independently as they do in steel structures. Such treatment has led to errors of as much as two or three hundred percent in the computation of slabs with two way reinforcement supported on four sides, and to errors of four hundred percent in case of continuous flat slab construction such as occurs in the mushroom system. When we consider the fact that fire losses in Canada and the United States amount each year to half a billion dollars, and that the question of commercial economy determines whether buildings shall be built of fireproof and incombustible materials such as reinforced concrete, or of inflammable materials such as are used in timber construction, it is at once evident how important it is to the general public to be able to determine on theoretically correct principles whether safe fireproof buildings can be built at approximately the same or less cost than combustible ones. In case of any uncertainty on this question, the designer is compelled for safety to employ materials in such lavish amounts as to render cost prohibitive. The failure of engineers and mathematicians generally to apply the mathematical theory of elasticity to the new material concrete-steel, has led to considerable controversy between practical constructors of experience, and theoretical engineers without such experience.

Download or read book The History of the Theory of Structures written by Karl-Eugen Kurrer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 1242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years after the publication of the first English edition of The History of the Theory of Structures, Dr. Kurrer now gives us a much enlarged second edition with a new subtitle: Searching for Equilibrium. The author invites the reader to take part in a journey through time to explore the equilibrium of structures. That journey starts with the emergence of the statics and strength of materials of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo, and reaches its first climax with Coulomb's structural theories for beams, earth pressure and arches in the late 18th century. Over the next 100 years, Navier, Culmann, Maxwell, Rankine, Mohr, Castigliano and Müller-Breslau moulded theory of structures into a fundamental engineering science discipline that - in the form of modern structural mechanics - played a key role in creating the design languages of the steel, reinforced concrete, aircraft, automotive and shipbuilding industries in the 20th century. In his portrayal, the author places the emphasis on the formation and development of modern numerical engineering methods such as FEM and describes their integration into the discipline of computational mechanics. Brief insights into customary methods of calculation backed up by historical facts help the reader to understand the history of structural mechanics and earth pressure theory from the point of view of modern engineering practice. This approach also makes a vital contribution to the teaching of engineers. Dr. Kurrer manages to give us a real feel for the different approaches of the players involved through their engineering science profiles and personalities, thus creating awareness for the social context. The 260 brief biographies convey the subjective aspect of theory of structures and structural mechanics from the early years of the modern era to the present day. Civil and structural engineers and architects are well represented, but there are also biographies of mathematicians, physicists, mechanical engineers and aircraft and ship designers. The main works of these protagonists of theory of structures are reviewed and listed at the end of each biography. Besides the acknowledged figures in theory of structures such as Coulomb, Culmann, Maxwell, Mohr, Müller-Breslau, Navier, Rankine, Saint-Venant, Timoshenko and Westergaard, the reader is also introduced to G. Green, A. N. Krylov, G. Li, A. J. S. Pippard, W. Prager, H. A. Schade, A. W. Skempton, C. A. Truesdell, J. A. L. Waddell and H. Wagner. The pioneers of the modern movement in theory of structures, J. H. Argyris, R. W. Clough, T. v. Kármán, M. J. Turner and O. C. Zienkiewicz, are also given extensive biographical treatment. A huge bibliography of about 4,500 works rounds off the book. New content in the second edition deals with earth pressure theory, ultimate load method, an analysis of historical textbooks, steel bridges, lightweight construction, theory of plates and shells, Green's function, computational statics, FEM, computer-assisted graphical analysis and historical engineering science. The number of pages now exceeds 1,200 - an increase of 50% over the first English edition. This book is the first all-embracing historical account of theory of structures from the 16th century to the present day.
