Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Modern Framed Structures: Designed for the Use of Schools, and for Engineers in Professional Practice IT is now less than fifty years since the first successful attempt was made to correctly analyze the stresses in a framed structure and to proportion the members to resist the given external forces.* In this comparatively short period the rational designing of framed structures has ripened into practical perfection, and the best current practice leaves little to be desired in the way of further development. The only material uncertainties remaining are the dynamic effects of moving loads, and these will probably never submit themselves to any very accurate determination or prediction. This would seem to be a fitting time, therefore, for the presentation to the engineering profession of a general treatise on Modern Framed Structures. The evolution of methods of analysis and of construction has been so rapid during this generating period that no sooner has a work on structures appeared than it has been found to be behind the current practice and no longer representative. It is believed that this rapid evolution of new methods has about run its course, and that we have now settled upon a line of practice, both in analysis and in construction, which will be reasonably fixed so long as the materials employed remain as they are to-day. It was this conviction that led the authors of this work to undertake the task of presenting the subject in as concise and inclusive a form as possible, to serve at once the needs of the student and of the practitioner. This work is something of a compendium, a text-book, and a designer's hand-book, all in one. As a compendium it is intended to cover a great deal of ground without going too much into details which are found in standard works on mathematics and mechanics. As a text book it is intended to serve as the student's manual in framed structures, after he has had a course in mathematics and mechanics. As a designer's hand-book it is intended to contain such ready information as any competent designer must constantly use, but which he does not care to burden his mind with.
