Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book illustrates the skeleton-construction method, a new building type requiring significantly different construction principles to the traditional cast-iron fronts and wooden girders of the past. The improvements in iron construction, especially in high-rise buildings, have been so rapid in recent years that no work, however recent, completely meets the latest requirements. It provides tables of tests of various shaped columns and stresses the advantages and disadvantages of different shapes of iron and steel in columns for making rigid connections with floor beams, curtain wall girders, and with each other, a necessary requirement for good construction. Other chapters are devoted to the details and calculations attending the erection of high buildings using the skeleton construction, the system of wind-bracing, curtain-wall supports, and foundations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
