Trusses of Wood and Iron

"Trusses of Wood and Iron" offers a detailed exploration of truss construction as it was understood in the late 19th century. Written by William Griffiths, the book delves into the practical applications of science in determining stresses, breaking weights, safe loads, scantlings, and construction details of trusses made from wood and iron.

This historical treatise is valuable for those interested in the history of engineering and construction, offering insights into the methods and materials used before the advent of modern technologies. Griffiths' work provides a blend of theoretical principles and practical guidance, making it a useful resource for understanding the foundations of structural engineering.
