Excerpt from Strength and Calculation of Dimensions of Iron and Steel Constructions: With Reference to the Latest Experiments

Many experiments have been lately made in Germany, England, Sweden, and America, to determine the properties of iron and steel. We propose to give in this brochure a general view of the results obtained, and of their consequences, with out much detail, but so complete as to place practical engineers at the present stand-point of critical judgment.

These experiments show (what every one admits) that the methods hitherto employed in calculating the dimensions of iron and steel constructions have been entirely wrong; and that the security of structures, in which their results have been applied, though with great expenditure of material, is much less than supposed.
