Excerpt from Masonry as Applied to Civil Engineering: Being a Practical Treatise on the Design and Construction of Engineering, Works in Stone and Heavy Concrete, Adapted for the Use of Students, and Those Engaged in the Practice, of the Profession As far as stonework and stone-cutting concern the builder and architect, the many treatises on building con struction leave nothing to be desired. They treat the subject for the most part, however, from the artistic stand point. The object of the present work is to consider the question from the point of view of utility, that is heavy works, of use rather than mere ornament. Every endeavour has been made to set forth, broadly, without too much recourse to higher mathematics, the theoretical considera tions with regard to structures and members thereof which, while being constructed with the greatest economy, shall resist, beyond doubt, failure or collapse under any normal condition which the designer thinks wise to provide for. These considerations are as far as possible illustrated by practical examples; in fact, this has been the aim of the author right through. It is hoped, therefore, that the work will be useful alike to students and those engaged in practice. Notification of any errors will be greatly appre ciated.
