4. Masonry as applied to civil engineering:

 Being a practical treatise on the design and construction of engineering works in stone and heavy concrete (1915) 308 pages
by  Taylor, F. Noel

ADAPTED FOR THE USE OF STUDENTS
AND THOSE ENGAGED IN THE PRACTICE
OF THE PROFESSION
BY
F. NOEL TAYLOR
MEMBER OF THE INSTITUTE OF MUNICIPAL ENGINEERS
AUTHOR OF "A MANUAL OF CIVIL-ENGINEERING PRACTICE," ETC.

THE art of masonry is very ancient ; in fact, until comparatively recently all structures of any importance
were built of stone. Nowadays the advent of steel and ferro-concrete has, not as some would suppose,
taken the place of stone for important structures, but has made possible works which, while partly constructed of
masonry, could not within reasonable limits be constructed wholly thereof.
As far as stonework and stone - cutting concern the builder and architect, the many treatises on building construction
leave nothing to be desired. They treat the subject for the most part, however, from the artistic standpoint.
The object of the present work is to consider the question from the point of view of utility, that is heavy
works, of use rather than mere ornament. Every endeavour has been made to set forth, broadly, without too much
recourse to higher mathematics, the theoretical considerations with regard to structures and members thereof which,
while being constructed with the greatest economy, shall resist, beyond doubt, failure or collapse under any normal
condition which the designer thinks wise to provide for. These considerations are as far as possible illustrated by
practical examples; in fact, this has been the aim of the author right through. It is hoped, therefore, that the
work will be useful alike to students and those engaged in practice.
