Publisher's Synopsis
A Treatise On Architecture And Building Construction V1: Arithmetic, Formulas, Geometry And Mensuration, Architectural Engineering, With Practical Questions And Examples (1899) is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of architecture and building construction. Written by J. Edward Elliston, this book covers a wide range of topics related to the field of architecture, including arithmetic, formulas, geometry, mensuration, and architectural engineering. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a specific aspect of architecture and building construction. The first section focuses on arithmetic, formulas, and geometry, providing readers with a solid foundation in the basic mathematical concepts that are essential for the field. The second section covers mensuration, which is the measurement of geometric figures and the determination of their areas and volumes.The third section of the book is devoted to architectural engineering, which is the application of engineering principles to the design and construction of buildings. This section covers a wide range of topics, including structural design, heating and ventilation systems, and building materials.Throughout the book, Elliston provides practical questions and examples to help readers better understand the concepts and principles presented. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of architecture and building construction.Overall, A Treatise On Architecture And Building Construction V1: Arithmetic, Formulas, Geometry And Mensuration, Architectural Engineering, With Practical Questions And Examples (1899) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the principles and practices of architecture and building construction.Prepared For Students Of The International Correspondence Schools.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
