Download or read book Economics of Construction in Relation to Framed Structures written by Robert Henry Bow and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economics of Construction in Relation to Framed Structures: Preliminary Parts; Part I. Classification of Structures; Part II. Diagrams of Forces The two Parts now published are calculated to form a useful Manual in themselves. And as they are almost altogether of a preliminary character in relation to Economics of Construction, no introduction to that subject need here be attempted. But as touching upon the neglect of that branch of Engineering Science, I may quote the following passage with reference to British Engineering from Applied Mechanics by the late eminent Professor W. J. Macquorn Rankine: - "In too many cases we see the strength and the stability which ought to be given by the skilful arrangement of the parts of a structure, supplied by means of clumsy massiveness, and of lavish expenditure of material, labour, and money; and the evil is increased by a perversion of the public taste, which causes works to be admired, not in proportion to their fitness for their purposes, or to the skill evinced in attaining that fitness, but in proportion to their size and cost." Part I. is devoted to the Classification of Structures, but the illustrations are, in the meantime, confined to Roof and Bridge Trusses. Many previous attempts have been made by others and myself in this direction, but not one of those that I am acquainted with is at all satisfactory. I trust that the classification now given, although no doubt open to some objections, will commend itself as based for the most part upon scientific distinctions. A considerable number of the designs supplied to illustrate the classification are original. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Building Economics written by Ivor H. Seeley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1996-11-11 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensively rewritten, updated and extended new edition of this established text focuses on what has become the most important single facet of the quantity surveyor's role - cost management. The scope of the book has been broadened to take account of the widening and more sophisticated cost management and control service that clients now require. The book examines the factors influencing building costs and how the precontract costs can be estimated, analysed and controlled, to ensure that buildings can be completed within the agreed budget and timescale, and be of acceptable quality, function effectively and provide value for money. A new chapter on value management has been added, together with an introductory chapter on cost modelling; the chapter on life cycling costing is extended, while the sections on energy conservation and occupancy costs are expanded. Throughout the text many new case studies, with supporting tables and diagrams, are included in order to enhance the value of this book to the student and the practitioner.

It opens by considering the principles of design, then deals with the application of these to particular subjects including bridges, canals, dams and buildings (from Gothic cathedrals to Victorian mills) constructed using masonry, timber, cast and wrought iron.
