Although cast iron was used in pagoda construction in ancient
China, it was in Britain in the eighteenth century that new methods
allowed for its production in quantities that enabled widespread
use. An engineer who had educated himself tirelessly in technical
subjects from carpentry to architecture, Thomas Tredgold (1788
1829) first published this work in 1822. It served as a standard
textbook for British engineers in the early nineteenth century, and
several translations extended its influence on the continent.
Reissued here in the fourth edition of 1842, edited and annotated
by the structural engineer Eaton Hodgkinson (1789 1861), who
presents his own research in the second volume, this work addresses
both practical and mathematical questions in assessing metallic
strength. In Volume 2, benefiting from twenty years of progress
since Tredgold's original publication, Hodgkinson provides details
of his own advanced experiments."
