Excerpt from The Theory and Design of Structures: A Text-Book for the Use of Students, Draughtsmen, and Engineers Engaged in Constructional Work
The book contains some matter which the author does not believe to be in English text-books in common use. Among this mention might be made of the French or St. Venant method of dealing with combined bending and shear strains 5 the general theory of curved beams and of non-symmetrical beams; the strength of heterogeneous structures such as reinforced concrete a special effort has been made to make the chapter on struts and columns clear, difficulty being commonly experienced in this subject.
Although the. Author hopes that the book will be especially useful for students reading for the Assoc. M. Inst. C.e. Examina tion and University degree examinations in Engineering, he has attempted to present the subject in sufficiently practical form for it to be of assistance to all engineers and draughtsmen engaged in constructional work, and has included a number of working drawings.
