THE DESIGN OF STRUCTURES: 



A Practical Treatise on the Building: of Bridges, Roofs, &s. 



BY S. ANGLIN, C.E., 



Master of Engineering, Royal University of Ireland, late Whitworth Scholar, &c. 



With very numerous Diagrams, Examples, and Tables. 



Large Crown 8vo. Cloth, i6s. 



The leading features in Mr. Anglin's carefully-planned " Design of Struc- 

 tures " may be briefly summarised as follows : 



1. It supplies the want, long felt among Students of Engineering and 

 Architecture, of a concise Text- book on Structures, requiring on the part of 

 the reader a knowledge of ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS only. 



2. The subject of GRAPHIC STATICS has only of recent years been generally 

 applied in this country to determine the Stresses on Framed Structures ; and 

 in too many cases this is done without a knowledge of the principles upon 

 which the science is founded. In Mr. Anglin's work the system is explained 

 from FIRST PRINCIPLES, and the Student will find in it a valuable aid in 

 determining the stresses on all irregularly- framed structures. 



3. A large number of PRACTICAL EXAMPLES, such as occur in the every-day 

 experience of the Engineer, are given and carefully worked out, some being 

 solved both analytically and graphically, as a guide to the Student. 



4. The chapters devoted to the practical side of the subject, the Strength of 

 Joints, Punching, Drilling, Rivetting, and other processes connected with the 

 manufacture of Bridges, Roofs, and Structural work generally, are the result 

 of MANY YEARS' EXPERIENCE in the bridge-yard ; and the information given 

 on this branch of the subject will be found of great value to the practical 

 bridge-builder. 



"Students of Engineering will find this Text-Book INVALUABLE." Architect. 



"The author has certainly succeeded in producing a THOROUGHLY PRACTICAL Text- 

 Book. '' Builder. 



"We can unhesitatingly recommend this work not only to the Student, as the BEST 

 TEXT-BOOK on the subject, but also to the professional engineer as an EXCEEDINGLY 

 VALUABLE book of reference." Mechanical World. 



"This work can be CONFIDENTLY recommended to engineers. The author has wisely 

 chosen to use as little of the higher mathematics as possible, and has thus made his book of 

 REAL USE TO THE PRACTICAL ENGINEER. . . . After careful perusal, we have nothing but 

 praise for the work." Nature.
