Excerpt from Further Problems in the Theory and Design of Structures: An Advanced d104-Book for the Use of Students, Draughtsmen, and Engineers Engaged in Constructional Work Having regard to recent developments in the subject and from experience in the lecture-room, the author has realised that the earlier book upon the Theory and Design of Structures omitted to deal with several problems that are of interest and importance to engineers. At the same time, the earlier book covers a fairly wide ground, which appears satisfactory for many engineers; and, after consideration, it was decided to keep the original book practically intact, and to write an additional volume. The same general aim has been kept in view in the present as in the previous work: namely, to give treatments which are theoretically sound, while presenting those treatments in as clear and simple a manner as possible. An attempt has been made to give nearly all the steps involved in mathematical deductions; this is at the risk of criticism that the explanations are rather long, but experience has shown that many students find it very difficult to insert the gaps in mathematical reasonings that are usually made in text-books. The first portion of the book deals with the method of Influence Lines, which has been developed to a considerable extent within recent years; next comes the Principle of Work and its application to deflections of framed structures, redundant frames, and rigid arches; finally, we have Portals and Wind Bracings and Secondary Stresses, the importance of the analysis of both having been more fully realised within recent years, though they have not yet received the adequate treatment which they deserve.
