Isbn: 9781528556446 - experimental researches on the strength and other properties of cast iron: with the development of new principles, calculations deduced from them, and ... tenacious bodies generally (classic reprint) (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book from the 19th century explores the strength and properties of cast iron. Its insights on the use of cast iron for pillars and beams are particularly valuable, as it details experiments conducted by the author to determine the tensile strength, and ability of cast iron to resist both direct and long-continued pressure. The author's findings establish that cast iron sections resist a greater force when loaded along their axes than when the force is applied along their sides, and that the strength of cast iron pillars can be increased substantially by enlarging their diameter in the center. The book also contains valuable insights on the relative strengths of cast iron when compared to wrought iron, steel, and various types of wood. This book will prove invaluable to engineers, architects, and anyone interested in the development and use of cast iron in construction.
