مهندسی آهن و سنگ: درک تحلیل ساختاری و روش‌های طراحی قرن نوزدهم (انتشارات ASCE)

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 todays 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 Content: ""Cover"" ""CONTENTS"" ""PREFACE"" ""ACKNOWLEDGMENTS"" ""Introduction"" ""PART I: EMPIRICAL METHODS"" ""1 Empirical Structural Design"" ""2 Empirical Design of Masonry Structures: Brick, Stone, and Concrete"" ""3 Empirical Design of Wood Structures"" ""4 Empirical Design of Iron and Steel Structures"" ""PART II: ANALYTICAL METHODS"" ""5 Introduction to Analytical Computations in Nineteenth-Century Engineering"" ""6 Analysis of Arches"" ""7 Analysis of Braced Girders and Trusses"" ""8 Analysis of Girders: Beams, Plate Girders, and Continuous Girders"" ""9 Analysis of Columns"" ""10 Analysis of Portal Frames""""PART III: GRAPHICAL METHODS OF ANALYSIS"" ""11 Introduction to Graphical Methods of Analysis"" ""12 Graphical Analysis of Trusses"" ""13 Graphical Analysis of Arches"" ""14 Graphical Analysis of Beams"" ""15 Graphical Analysis of Portal Frames and Other Indeterminate Frames"" ""PART IV: SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS"" ""16 Concluding Remarks�The Preservation of Historic Analytical Methods"" ""INDEX"" ""A"" ""B"" ""C"" ""D"" ""E"" ""F"" ""G"" ""H"" ""I"" ""J"" ""K"" ""L"" ""M"" ""N"" ""P"" ""R"" ""S"" ""T"" ""U"" ""V"" ""W"" This book 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.
