In the late 1800s new design opportunities to serve business and transportation abounded, and the civil engineering profession responded with efficient design methods to meet the surging demands. Engineering Iron and Stone: Understanding Structural Analysis and Design Methods of the Late 19th Century presents a comprehensive explanation of the empirical, graphical, and analytical design techniques used during this period in the construction of both large and small buildings and bridges in wood, stone, brick, and iron. Drawing on a career-long fascination with how structural engineers do their work, Thomas Boothby provides specific examples of these analysis and design methods applied to arches, girders, trusses, beams, and columns. The numerous calculations, drawings, and photographs, both historic and contemporary, illustrate the application of these techniques to a wide range of structures. While major civil engineering works of the Gilded Age are acknowledged, Boothby focuses on the smaller, more ordinary local projects that today's engineers might encounter and analyzes the significant body of engineering design that went into their construction. Boothby also points out the historic value in preserving the engineering techniques and ideas of that era. The rapidity of computation and the intimate relationship between the structure and its analysis have been lost in the numerically intensive analytical methods currently employed. Undertaking the historic preservation or rehabilitation of structures from the late 19th century can be challenging. Understanding the original design intent, however, can aid in a successful outcome. The quick and computationally efficient methods described in this book can assist present day engineers in understanding the behavior of these structures and give insight into their actual performance.

Freiliegende Stahlkonstruktionen kommen heute dank Fortschritten in der Brandschutztechnik auch bei anspruchsvollsten Bauaufgaben zum Einsatz. Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz können hierin von den jahrzehntelangen Erfahrungen profitieren, die insbesondere in Nordamerika und Großbritannien seit Aufkommen der High-Tech-Architektur und deren Weiterentwicklung hin zum Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel gereift sind.Eine der weltweit besten Kennerinnen dieser Bautechnik und ihrer Potenziale für avancierte Architektur legt in diesem Buch dar, wie sich die hohen Qualitätsanforderungen insbesondere an die Detaillierung und das Finish mit einer kostensparenden Differenzierung vereinen lassen: je nach Bauaufgabe, aber auch nach unterschiedlicher visueller Exponiertheit der Teile sowie durch ein geschicktes Zusammenspiel mit der Entwurfsidee. Alle dargestellten Lösungen werden anschaulich und faszinierend mit Abbildungen aus dem umfangreichen Fotoarchiv der Autorin dargestellt.Kostengünstige hohe Qualität in der anspruchsvollen Stahlarchitektur ist möglich - dank des hier dargestellten systematischen Umgangs mit diesen Fragen, wie er im angloamerikanischen Raum seit langem praktiziert wird. This book provides the means for a better control and purposeful consideration of the design of Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS). It deploys a detailed categorization of AESS and its uses according to design context, building typology and visual exposure. In a rare combination, this approach makes high quality benchmarks compatible with economies in terms of material use, fabrication methods, workforce and cost. Building with exposed steel has become more and more popular worldwide, also as advances in fire safety technology have permitted its use for building tasks under stringent fire regulations. On her background of long standing as a teacher in architectural steel design affiliated with many institutions, the author ranks among the world's best scholars on this topic. Among the fields covered by the extensive approach of this book are the characteristics of the various categories of AESS, the interrelatedness of design, fabrication and erection of the steel structures, issues of coating and protection (including corrosion and fire protection), special materials like weathering steel and stainless steel, the member choices and a connection design checklist. The description draws on many international examples from advanced contemporary architecture, all visited and photographed by the author, among which figure buildings like the Amgen Helix Bridge in Seattle, the Shard Observation Level in London, the New York Times Building and the Arganquela Footbridge.

This book, framed in the processes of engineering analysis and design, presents concepts in mechanics of materials for students in two-year or four-year programs in engineering technology, architecture, and building construction, as well as for students in vocational schools and technical institutes. Using the principles and laws of mechanics, physics, and the fundamentals of engineering, Mechanics of Materials: An Introduction for Engineering Technology will help aspiring and practicing engineers and engineering technicians from across disciplines—mechanical, civil, chemical, and electrical—apply concepts of engineering mechanics for analysis and design of materials, structures, and machine components. The book is ideal for those seeking a rigorous, algebra/trigonometry-based text on the mechanics of materials. This book also: · Elucidates concepts of engineering mechanics in materials, including stress and strain, force systems on structures, moment of inertia, and shear and bending moments in a beam without requiring a background in calculus · Illustrates the influence of mechanical properties of materials using real engineering problems · Serves as a valuable reference for students and practitioners seeking state licensing in professional engineering · Includes appendices of useful standard material properties, diagrams, and formulas readers need for calculation and design purposes · Reinforces concepts presented with student exercises.
