The author examines the history of framework, with the first examples emerging in the 18th century. The theoretical evolution of the field is recounted, focusing on the innovators, and their methods for analyzing the forces acting on structures. The author examines the ways in which external forces impact the integrity of framed structures, and provides problem-solving examples to illustrate the concepts presented in the book. These range from reaction forces, to the weight of a structure and wind resistance. Moving from theory to practical application, the book also examines the finer points of structural engineering: how to calculate stress along different axes, how to account for compression forces, and how to establish a margin of safety to ensure the structure will not become deformed. The book concludes by proposing new formulas that enhance the accuracy of short column versus long column stress calculations, and give greater factors of safety for short columns.
