Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Guide-Framing of Gasholders and Other Papers: Chiefly Relating to Strains in Structures Connected With Gas-Works In response to the frequently expressed wish of many of the most eminent gas engineers of the day, the author has collected has collected some of the more important of his writings relating to the construction of, and the strains upon, the principal apparatus in gas-works. Scattered as the papers were in the pages of the "Journal of Gas Lighting," they were unavailable for ready reference. It is hoped, therefore, that in the compact form in which they are now presented, they may prove of more service to the gas engineering profession generally. The greater part of the book treats of gasholders, as being, from an engineering point of view, the most important iron structures on gas-work. It is assumed that the reader has a somewhat intimate and practical acquaintance with the construction and purpose of gas-works apparatus; therefore, mere description or definition of technical terms is purposely avoided. The diagrams are merely skeleton outlines, sufficient for the elucidation of the strains on the structures treated of; and are more useful for the purpose than intricate sketches teeming with detail. Although a great deal has been written and said upon gasholders, yet the author thinks himself justified in claiming that this is the first attempt to put in a reliable, practical, and handy form, the nature and method of determining strains in those very complicated structures.
