Wood And Other Organic Structural Materials is a book written by Charles Henry Snow that explores the properties, characteristics, and uses of various organic materials used in construction and engineering. The book primarily focuses on wood, but also covers other materials such as bamboo, straw, and thatch. The author begins by discussing the physical and chemical properties of wood, including its structure, composition, and behavior under different conditions. He then delves into the different types of wood, their sources, and their uses in construction and engineering. The book also covers the preservation and treatment of wood, as well as the mechanical properties of other organic materials such as bamboo and straw. Snow provides detailed information on the strength, stiffness, and durability of these materials, as well as their limitations and potential applications. Throughout the book, Snow emphasizes the importance of sustainability and responsible use of natural resources. He provides insights into the environmental impact of using organic materials in construction and engineering, and offers suggestions for reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Overall, Wood And Other Organic Structural Materials is a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in the properties and uses of organic materials in construction and engineering. It is a valuable resource for architects, engineers, builders, and anyone interested in sustainable design practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
