Excerpt from Wind Pressure Factors, Specification Requirements, Mill-Building Stresses, Rigid Joint, Wind Bracing for Office Buildings
Wind is everywhere. It affects all structures. Every engineer, or even every person who ever sees an engineer, has a personal interest in the effect of Wind on structures. That is the subject of the present book.
Ignorance is not always bliss. If it be true - as seems very likely - that wind is pre'eminently a matter concern ing which no one knows he knows not, then this book deserves to have many readers.
There is a fresh touch to what the author says. His main argument throughout is common sense. In this respect his frame of mind is catching; the reader will find himself saner and sounder for having read the book. When the author refers to intricate studies of wind action, claimed to show the need for radical changes in building practice, he leads us to notice the practical fact that these intricate studies are based on tests made in mild breezes, and can hardly be safe guides as to what happens in storms.
Six articles which appeared in engineering news, most of them in the early months of 1915, make up this book. One of the six, however - No. 6 - is so changed from the form in which it was printed March 13, 1913, that it is new. And this subject, the stress calculation for tier-building frames without diagonals, is so far without any literature.
