General Architectural Construction.—(a) Wood Construction. Formulae and data for computing the dimensions and strengths of columns, rods, beams, girders, etc., of wood or metal are first given and then applied in the solution of numerous examples. The kinds of wood and their uses in construction and decoration, their seasoning, shrinkage, defects, and modes of protection from decay, are next studied. The construction and design of wooden floors, walls, ceilings, and roofs are then tretaed, and afterwards, joinery, comprising doors, windows, bays, inside finish, cornices, wainscoting, etc. The construction and design of stairs of the various types terminate the work of the term. About twenty problems are worked out on as many plates by the student. (6) Stone, Brick, and Metal Construction. Foundations of stone, brick, concrete, and on piles, are first studied. Then the materials employed in stone masonry, their i:ses, defects, qualities, and mode of preparation. Kinds of masonry and external finish. Tools and methods of stone cutting. The preparation of working drawings is illustrated by practical applications in the study of the arch, the vault, and the dome. Brick masonry is next examined, with its materials, and bonds, and several examples are drawn. The manufacture and refining of castiron, wrought-iron, and steel are then studied, together with the processes of pattern making, molding, casting, refining, rolling, etc., as well as the stock or standard dimensions or sections to be obtained in the market. The special properties and value of each metal in a structure, the designing of a line of columns in a tall mercantile building, and of beams and girders, together with the study of joints and connections completes the work of the term. About twelve problems are drawn on the same number of plates. Bicker's Wood, Stone, Brick, and Metal Construction; Pierce's Mathematical Tables. Fall and winter terms, 10 hours a week; 3 recitations and 7 hours drawing. Mr. WHITE. Required: Shop Practice B; General Engineering Drawing, 1,2,3.
