Excerpt from Notes on Building Construction, Vol. 4: Calculations for Building Structures Course for Honours

The great advantage of using simple graphic methods instead of elaborate calculations is that the former, if in correctly carried out, at once proclaim the fact by the polygons of forces refusing to close, so that an error has to be faced at once and rectified; whereas an error in a figure, or even of a decimal point, in calculations quite correct in other respects, may escape notice, and lead to an utterly erroneous result, which, if acted upon, may eu danger the stability of the structure to which it is applied.

It is hoped that this volume will be found to explain not only the calculations that may be called for in the Honours Examination at South Kensington, but also all that can possibly be required in connection with ordinary buildings. Upon the more complicated engineering strue tures it does not profess to enter.
