Book Description
Excerpt from Stresses in Masonry This little work supplies, I believe, a felt want. Elementary treatises on steel-work are numerous, but a brief yet comprehensive account of the stresses in masonry has not yet, to my knowledge, been produced. I have assumed that the reader is familiar with mathematics only up to quadratics, all more advanced matter being relegated to foot-notes. Also I have assumed that a knowledge of stresses in steel, such as is possessed by the majority of young engineers and architects in practice, is at the reader's disposal. Beyond this, I have endeavoured to make the matter as simple as possible, eliminating complex theory which may be a little more accurate, but does not adapt itself to design.

Excerpt from Structural Engineering: Stresses, Graphical Statics and Masonry Choose a sensible man to a responsible place rather than a man versed in the particular art which is to be taught (or practiced), inasmuch as a method of acquiring truth is better than the truth it has already ascertained. Let your discipline liberalize the mind of a boy rather than teach him science facts), that he may have means, more than results. The Indian will give his bow for the knife with which it was made.

The Design of Masonry Structures and Foundations (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from The Design of Masonry Structures and Foundations Due to investigations, both analytical and experimental, that have been made in recent years of the properties of masonry materials, the forces to which masonry structures are subjected, and the behavior of such structures, masonry design and construction have largely passed from the status of an art to that of a science, much as did bridge design after the invention of methods for calculating stresses in truss members. The extensive use of concrete with the studies that have been made to improve its quality and to secure economy in its use, and the development of reinforced concrete, a masonry material capable of sustaining tensile strains and requiring a stress analysis in order to proportion the steel, have contributed largely to this changed status in the design of masonry structures. This scientific understanding of masonry design has widened the use of masonry to include many structures for which other materials formerly were used exclusively, although for the most part, notwithstanding their diversity, these structures can be grouped about a comparatively few representative types. The soft and pleasing hues and outlines of masonry structures as well as their durability have appealed to builders from time immemorial, and masonry still offers the best means of building artistically and strongly with the economy that results from permanence. Moreover, there is an increasing demand in the design of engineering structures to secure not only stability and economy but something of elegance, grace and beauty in addition. Since good architectural treatment can be secured with but slight if any increase in the cost, it is appropriate that this phase of design should be given special attention in planning masonry structures. The present volume was prepared with a view to furnishing a textbook embodying these ideas. An attempt has been made to offer a mode of analyzing forces and calculating resulting stresses and to indicate an acceptable method of design.

Book Description
Excerpt from Engineering for Masonry Dams IN reviewing this book the reader will probably be impressed with the fact that many of the fundamental assumptions of design are based on very obscure data. This is particularly true regard ing uplift pressure, ice pressure, and the distribution of stresses in high dams. It is believed, however, that such assumptions are all on the side of safety; for each of the recorded failures of masonry dams may be attributed to a violation of one or more of the standard rules on which the theory is based.
