Inhaltsangabe

"Tables of the Strength and Deflection of Timber" by William Lea, originally published in 1850, provides a valuable historical record of engineering practices and materials testing during the mid-19th century. This book offers detailed tables and data related to the strength and deflection properties of various types of timber, essential information for civil engineers, architects, and builders of the time.

Lea's work showcases the methodologies used to assess the structural integrity of timber, a primary building material before the widespread adoption of steel and concrete. While modern engineering has advanced significantly, this volume offers insights into the empirical approaches and practical knowledge that underpinned early structural design. It is a useful resource for historians of technology, students of engineering history, and anyone interested in the evolution of building practices.
