Structural Analysis of Historic Buildings offers the most complete, detailed, and authentic data available on the materials, calculation methods, and design techniques used by architects and engineers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It provides today's building professionals with information needed to analyze, modify, and certify historic buildings for modern use. Among many important features of this book not available in any other single volume are: More than 350 line drawings and diagrams taken directly from original sources such as Carnegie Steele Company's Pocket Companion (1893) and Frank Kidder's The Architect's and Builder's Pocketbook (1902) Hard-to-find data on period structural components, such as cast-iron columns and beams, wrought-iron columns and beams, and fireproof terra cotta floor arches Methods for determining what kind of loads structural components were originally designed to bear and methods to determine if they are still capable of performing as intended Extensive coverage of historical foundation systems and empirical design methods for load-bearing masonry buildings
From the habitation sites of the first Paleo-Indians 12, 000 years ago, to the rise of modern cities in the twentieth century, Built in Washington describes the state's archaeologicaL, historical, and architectural legacy.
The purpose of this book is first to trace the history of daylighting and other sources of light, up to the end of the 19th century to show the effect light has had on the form of buildings; and second to establish how architects and designers today should approach the lighting of historic buildings in the context of present day technology. Historic buildings form a large part of the nation's heritage, whether used for their original purpose, as might be the case of a theatre, a railway terminus or house, where some modification may be required to meet its enhanced needs, whilst retaining the integrity of the original structure; or alternatively historic buildings where the use has completely changed and it is reasonable to assume that the functional requirements of the new will outweigh the needs of the old, as might be the case of a redundant building transformed for an entirely different use such as an art gallery. There are many such conversions, and once the decision has been made to use the building in this way, it should still be possible to retain something of the original integrity of the building, without compromising the needs of the culture. This book will provide knowledge and understanding of the issue of light in buildings of past periods, whilst providing a framework of how architects should approach such buildings today in the light of modern technology.

Comprehensive, in-depth coverage from leading experts in the field A historic building is a fragile resource that requires the finest care.
