Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood and Other Organic Structural Materials The purpose of this book is to present general as well as physical characteristics of a group of structural materials, most of which are of organic origin. Among the materials thus described are woods, paints and varnishes - with their associated oils, pigments, gums, and resins - glues, creosotes, and indiarubber. As stated, most of these materials are of organic origin. Those that are not, such as pigments and creosotes, have been added because of their close practical association with the others. The book is designed for engineers, architects, students in schools of technology, teachers of manual training and others who use the materials described or who are interested in their properties. A statement of the reasons for separating structural materials along the line of organic and inorganic origin, seems to be in order. First, this basis is convenient: in fact, so many of the important organic materials are used in connection with one another that most of the present book might easily appear under such a title as "Properties of Woods and Associated Materials of Construction"; and, in the same way, the principal inorganic materials, steel, stone and concrete, are commonly associated. Second, the basis suggested is logical: organic materials are fundamentally different from inorganic materials, for the former are results of physiological processes and have within them the influence of life; these materials may manifest variations and special traits which do not appear in the more homogeneous and constant materials of the inorganic group. Assuming that some form of classification is desirable, where subject matter is as extensive as that within the present field, the writer ventures to urge the merits of the one now employed. Also, a book devoted especially to the materials here considered seems warranted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Use and Abuse or Wood in House Construction Home building is a fascinating undertaking in which careful planning and consideration for features Of enduring worth will yield large returns in the form of lasting satisfaction. TO build these values into a home is not an insurmountable difficulty. It is a matter Of selecting, through proper design, the features that secure these values and then Of taking care that they are properly installed. Regardless Of whether the responsibility for the complete job is placed in the hands Of competent professional advisers or borne wholly by the individual, much mental ease is derived from one's own knowledge that the house is well-built. It is also a matter Of cold business discretion to make sure that a house is so constructed that it will not present annoying problems Of repair and maintenance. It is the purpose of this publication to assist in identifying good construction where lumber and other forest products are used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johnson's Materials of Construction: Rewritten There have also been some changes in the scope of the new work. The space devoted to the principles of mechanics has been materially reduced by more concise treatment. In general, discussion of the proper ties of composite members has been omitted. The writers feel justified in this omission since these subjects are now well treated in many text books on mechanics, structural design, and reinforced concrete. In the portion devoted to timber, space has been conserved by the omission of the descriptions of trees and by a complete revision and rearrangement of material, thus avoiding the duplications present in the earlier book. The methods of microscopic analysis and magnetic testing of metals have been omitted since it is felt that an adequate treatment of these very important special methods of investigation can not be given in a treatise of this char acter. On the other hand the new work treats more fully than the former concerning structural clay products, limes and plasters, Portland cement, making and testing of concrete, the methods of manufacture of the metals and the parts made of them, the structure and constitution of metals and alloys, the corrosion and protection of metals, and the decay and preserva tion of timber. Great care has been taken to illustrate adequately the revised work with material from the best sources. Old figures have been redrawn and, wherever possible, reduced in size. The large use of diagrams and charts in presenting facts and laws, and the omission of tables wherever possible has featured the present volume as it did the previous book. Dean Johnson well said.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it is now clear that in the future many raw materials will only be available to us in limited quantities, scientists have for some time been conducting intensive research into possible alternatives. Sustainability is the order of the day and the magic word for a better future in politics and industry. Moreover, environmental consciousness and a penchant for thinking in terms of material cycles have caught on with consumers: the use of environmentally compatible materials and production methods is desired, even taken for granted by the client. Designers and architects thus have a special role and responsibility. For they are the ones who decide what materials will be used on their projects and thus wield enormous influence on the sustainability of our product world. At the same time, we are dealing with a flood of new materials, which calls for specialized knowledge of their properties, their possible use, and their handling. Material Revolution bridges the gap between research and industry on the one hand and designers and architects on the other by offering a systematic overview of the currently available sustainable materials and providing the reader with all the information he or she needs to assess a new material’s suitability and potential for a given project. Along the way, it examines natural and biodegradable materials, while also presenting materials with multifunctional properties and the potential for diminishing energy requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an inventory of organic materials and products, the major components of all civil engineering projects, in terms of their scientific and technical background, including the regulations that cover their use and their predicted useful life. Such materials include: bitumen on the roads; geotextiles for retaining walls; membranes for bridges; tunnel and reservoir waterproofing; paint binders to protect metallic and concrete structures or to realize road markings; injection resins; gluing products; concrete admixtures; and composite materials. The presentation is based on a physicochemical approach, which is essential if these products are to be considered as part of sustainable development: as such, those studying or working in these fields will find this an invaluable source of information.

Download or read book Twentieth-Century Building Materials written by Thomas C. Jester and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
