By B. Baker and Benjamin Baker Sir

Book Overview

On The Strengths Of Beams, Columns, And Arches is a book written by Benjamin Baker in 1870. The book is focused on the analysis of the strength and stability of various architectural structures, including beams, columns, and arches. It provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of structural engineering and the mathematical calculations required to determine the strength of different types of building materials.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of structural engineering. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject and outlines the basic principles of structural analysis. The second chapter focuses on the strength of beams and provides detailed explanations of the different types of beams and the calculations required to determine their strength.The third chapter is dedicated to the strength of columns and includes discussions of the different types of columns and their strengths under different conditions. The fourth chapter focuses on arches and provides detailed explanations of the different types of arches and the calculations required to determine their strength.Throughout the book, Baker provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and calculations involved in structural engineering. He also includes practical advice on the design and construction of various types of structures, making this book a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and builders.Overall, On The Strengths Of Beams, Columns, And Arches is a comprehensive guide to the principles of structural engineering and the calculations required to determine the strength and stability of various architectural structures. It is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the design and construction of buildings and other structures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
