Steel, Structure, and Architecture: A Survey of the Material and Its Applications

Norwegians Eggen, an architect, and Sandaker, an engineer, sample some of the applications of steel in architecture, engineering, industrial design, and art during the 19th and 20th centuries, and discuss the material's properties, production methods, dimensioning, rust prevention and other surface treatments, joining methods, and combinations of steel with other materials such as wood and fabric. Highly illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings. Translated from Stal, Striktur og arkitektur , published by J.W. Cappelens, Forlag in 1995. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
