Among the 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 the 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
For any building professional involved in the rapidly growing field of restoring, preserving, and adapting historic buildings, Structural Analysis of Historic Buildings is an invaluable structural handbook.
