Excerpt from Constructional Iron and Steel Work: As Applied to Public, Private, and Domestic Buildings, a Practical Treatise for Architects, Students, and Builders
The object of the present work is mainly to place before the Architectural Student, in a concise and practical form, correct methods of designing the Constructional Iron and Steel Work now so generally used in all classes of buildings; and it is believed that the volume will be found acceptable, not only by Students, but by many Architects in actual practice, and by persons engaged in Building. For any one who is concerned in this branch of Engineering, it is impossible to overlook the fact that it has not hitherto received the attention from Architects which it deserves; its importance is paramount, for if the constructional part of a fabric fails all must become a ruin; and it is therefore incumbent upon those preparing to practise as Architects, to make themselves acquainted with the theoretical laws of stress and strength, and with the practical conditions upon which depends the safety of the buildings they are commissioned to design.
