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 con struction 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 propor tion 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.

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
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...of the reaction against the wall, the total thrust is given an inclination downward equal to the angle of friction. While it may be true that seepage of water along the back of the wall would reduce this coefficient of friction, it certainly A C Flo. 10S.--Retaining wall inclined towards the fill. would never eliminate it entirely. For this reason, therefore, the assumption that there is no frictional component downward along the back of the wall, while on the side of safety, is needlessly conservative, for it not only yields a larger overturning moment but disregards a force that tends to hold the wall in place. The angle of friction of wet earth against the back of the wall is probably the minimum value that need be assigned to z for accurate designing, yet the practice of engineers has been generally to allow nothing for this friction and to use the formulas resulting from neglecting it. For an inclined back, the direction of the thrust can be ascertained only by the theoretical formulas mentioned above or an equivalent method, but for the ordinary cases, the modification for walls inclined forward is slight, and since the reliability of the results is questionable, a further exposition of the subject will not here be made. Where the earth fill slopes downward, i.e., the angle of surcharge is negative, the value of the thrust obtained from Eq. (12) theoretically is correct, but it includes an element of passive force, and hence, the active force is somewhat less than that amount. In Fig. 108, the pressure on A B is less than it would be on its projection, BC, because of the presence of a prism of earth ABC between the plane BC and the wall. This decrease in the pressure may be assumed to be in proportion to the mass of this triangular...

Book Description
Excerpt from Masonry Structures The term Masonry has been construed to include concrete, and the field covered by the title is a very wide one. It has therefore been necessary to select for discussion those types which seem most adequately to illustrate the principles, and no attempt has been made to cover fully the details of all classes of masonry structures. The purpose has been to provide an introduction to the subject, which may later be followed by intensive study in more detailed works upon the various branches. This gives a general view of the subject as a whole, and is the natural method of approach. The Author has derived much assistance from a number of books which deal more fully with various portions of the subject. These are mentioned at the ends of articles or chapters to which they specially relate. They should be studied by students desiring a more complete presentation of the subject. Special acknowledgment is also due to Professors A. Lincoln Hyde and Guy D. Newton of the University of Missouri for reading and criticising portions of the manuscript and for assistance in pre paring the illustrations.
