Synopsis
Excerpt from Dangerous Structures: A Handbook for Practical Men
In the present volume the Author's object has been to deal with some of those awkward problems in building which demand prompt solution, to suggest ready means for getting over difficulties which frequently occur in practice, and to supply data from which efficient and at the same time economical remedies may be designed to counteract evils arising from structural defects. To this end, the results of some practical experience have been summed up and presented to the reader in a concise form, together with so much theoretical demonstration as may not be too abstruse for ready reference. Tables showing the ultimate strength of such structural accessories as lintels, beams, struts, and posts, have been supplied. These tables have been expressly calculated for the purpose, and as they have been carefully checked, it is hoped that they will prove useful and reliable as memoranda for reference by surveyors, builders, and others, and will be conducive to economy of time.
