The Theory And Practice Of Modern Framed Structures, Designed For Use Of Schools And For Engineers In Professional Practice Part III: Design, By The Late J. B. Johnson And F. E. Turneaure

by Rewritten by F. E. Turneaure and W. S. Kinne

"The present volume is the third of a series of three volumes constituting a complete re-writing of "Modern Framed Structures," published first in 1893. Owing to the increased development and specialization of many lines of structural engineering it has been thought best in preparing the present edition to omit certain topics treated in the earlier work. These relate especially to building construction, elevated tanks, swing bridges, and trestles. The present volume includes, first, a discussion of certain topics of fundamental importance in bridge design, and, second, the detailed analysis and design of a few of the more common structures likely to be of immediate interest to the student and the young engineer. The fundamental topics are covered in the first seven chapters. Chapter I contains a brief discussion of styles of structures and determining conditions. Chapter II treats of the fundamental factors relating to the selection of working stresses, including the subjects of impact and secondary stresses. Chapter III treats of the design of compression members. In this chapter it has seemed desirable to review the fundamental theories of the strength of columns so as to establish a basis for a discussion of working formulas and the results of tests. The question of column shear and the effect of eccentricity of load and of secondary stress has been discussed in some detail in order to get a clear notion of the behavior of the column as a part of the truss. Chapter IV deals with combined stresses and secondary stresses. In the discussion of the latter subject the results of calculations and tests are given so as to show, in a general way, the range of secondary stresses in the ordinary types of trusses. Detailed methods of calculation are given in Part II (please type 'B000ILC8U6' or 'B000ILCEO6' in Amazon's search box for additional parts). Chapter V discusses riveted joints, including the...."
