Publisher's Synopsis
The Handbook of Testing Materials for the Constructor V1, Text: Part I, Methods, Machines, and Auxiliary Apparatus is a book written by Adolf Martens and originally published in 1899. This book is a comprehensive guide to the testing of materials used in construction, including metals, wood, and concrete. The text is divided into three parts, with the first part covering methods for testing materials, the second part focusing on machines used for testing, and the third part discussing auxiliary apparatus. The book provides detailed information on the different types of tests that can be performed on materials, including tensile, compression, bending, and torsion tests. It also includes information on the design and construction of testing machines and the use of auxiliary apparatus such as extensometers and strain gauges. The Handbook of Testing Materials for the Constructor V1, Text: Part I, Methods, Machines, and Auxiliary Apparatus is an important resource for engineers, architects, and construction professionals who need to understand the properties and behavior of materials used in construction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
