Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand Book of Timber Preservation It is not pretended that the operator can take the matter up from the book and proceed at once to runthe business, as there is too much that calls for a trained and matured judgment; but the book will be of much service as a hand book and guide during the operation of the plant as well as to hints during the construction. The author is but too sensible of the imperfect arrangement of the work and that much is yet to do to make it complete, but trusts to be able to offer in the near future an edition that will correct, to some extent, the imperfections of this. In conclusion, we cannot do better than quote from remarks made by Henry Goldmark, M. Am. Soc. C. E The whole question of timber preservation is, after all, one of economy. The point is not whether the ordinary or an improved creosote process is the best thing, but whether something else much cheaper will not, at least for railroad ties, serve a useful pur pose. This we think is no longer a question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Timber Preservation, With Extracts From the Best Known Authorities Long years of practical experience has shown that timber, however prone to dry or wet rot, may be preserved from both by the use of certain metallic solutions, or other suitable protective matters. All the various processes may be said somewhat to reduce the transverse strength of the timber when dry, and the metallic salts are affected at the iron bolts or fastenings. The natural juices of some woods do this; and bolts which have united beams of elm and pitch pine will often corrode entirely away at the junction.

This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress Report on the Strength of Structural Timber For ooring, molding, paneling, and all inside finish western hem lock makes a superior lumber, not easily scratched, susceptible of a high polish, and of excellent wearing qualities. The results of the mechanical tests, although the data are not as yet sufficiently numerous for positive conclusions, indicate a quality of timber averaging about 70 per cent of the strength of red fir of the same grade, and suitable for all except the heaviest structures. The tests of western hemlock recorded below were made upon tim bers cut on the west. Slope of the Cascade Mountains, in Lane County, Oreg., and tested from two to six months after sawing. The sticks were stored in a shed and sprinkled from time to time. It is difficult to apply to the western hemlock the grading rules adopted for red fir. Their application throws most of the hemlock sticks into the seconds grade. New rules should be made for western hemlock to bring the better quality of sticks into the merchantable grade. The average of the results shown in Table I gives a modulus of rupture of pounds per square inch, a modulus of elasticity of pounds per square inch, and a dry weight per cubic foot of pounds. The rate of growth of these sticks was rings per inch. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Structural Details: Or Elements of Design in Timber Framing It may appear at first as if too much attention to details is given in the examples on the design of joints, beams, and trusses. It is believed, however, that the importance of care ful study of every detail can only thus be properly emphasized. In practice it seems to be the exception rather than the rule to give the same attention to details of timber structures as to those of steel. In the interest of sound engineering practice it is essential that all connections and details have the same degree of security as the framed members.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development and Economy of Timber Preservation: Thesis for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering In view of the steadily decreasing supply of timber suitable for structural and railroad purposes, the subject of wood preservation is one which should engage the attention of every engineer. It is a well-known fact that, at the present rate of consumption, in a few years time there will no longer be a dependable supply of many species of timber. We must then find some way to make these species more durable and to utilize the inferior varieties. Thls problem is being solved by the modern processes for the preservative treatment of timber.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood Preservation in the United States The decay of wood is not an inorganic process, like the rusting of iron or the crumbling of stone, but is due to the activities of low forms of plant life called bacteria and fungi. Bacteria are among the simplest of all forms of life, often consisting of but a single cell, microscopic in size. Sometimes several such cells may be attached to each other, and so form a thread or filament. Usually they are colorless, and multiply by the division of the parent cell into other cells which, in turn, divide again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preservation of Wood But this little book wishes to do more than to inform the layman who buys and uses wood how he may best serve his indi vidual interests. It wishes to make him realize what every scientist and engineer has long since realized acutely - the national necessity of protecting his wood against the attack of its enemies. His desire to cut down replacement to a minimum is also one of the most vital needs of his country. This book wishes to do its bit, and to acquaint him with the opportunity to do his hit, in the great national effort to conserve our re sources. By protecting his own wood in the best way for his specific purpose, he is at the same time protecting our forests for the common good of all.
