Excerpt from Building Superintendence for Steel Structures: A Practical Work on the Duties of a Building Superintendent Tendent for Steel-Frame Buildings and the Proper Methods of Handling the Materials and Construction Good Design. Good designing of steel structures allows a maximum amount of assembling work to be accomplished at the shop, leaving a minimum amount to be done at the site of erection, depending always upon the limitations of transportation of materials from the shop to the site and upon those of the machinery available for use in the work of erection. Railroads are limited as to the size and weight of the pieces which they can handle, and it is better and more economical to employ machinery and equipment that can be used for several jobs, than that which is limited to one only. There fore, the separate pieces of steel should come to the site in shapes and sizes adapted to standard erection equipment. Divisions of Work. General Divisions. The duties of the engineer and of the architect divide themselves into what are called office work and field work. The office work consists briefly in mak ing the design; in preparing the contract, drawings, specifications, and other papers; and in receiving the bids and awarding the con tracts for the job.

Excerpt from Building Superintendence for Steel Structures: A Practical Work on the Duties of a Building Superintendent Tendent for Steel-Frame Buildings and the Proper Methods of Handling the Materials and Construction The problems of superintendence of steel frame structures are so different from those which arise in connection with other types of buildings that it has been necessary for men to make a specialty of building superintendence for steel buildings. The knowledge of the best types of design, the proper methods of fabrication, the tests which should be connected for quality of steel, and finally the proper methods of erecting the steel, all call for special training apart from the usual building superintendence methods. It is with the idea of giving engineer and layman the most authoritative information on this important subject that this little volume has been published. It does not attempt to go into the theory of design of steel structures, but confines itself to the problems of superintendence alone. The author is abundantly qualified to speak on this subject as he has erected many steel buildings for one of the biggest contracting firms in the country. He has given the reader the benefit of his experience as a superintendent by outlining the duties of this office, and making clear the engineering, legal, and practical knowledge required. Then he goes into detail regarding the inspection of the steel material in the fabrication shops and the proper method of storing it until needed. The problems of erection are all treated - equipment required, foundations, the handling of the steel, riveting, and painting. The author closes the article with some advice as to the proper organization of his force, how the superintendent should work with architect and owner and what qualities a good superintendent should possess. Altogether the article should prove a valuable addition to the technical literature in this field. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
