Antiquated Structural Systems

Illustrated

Introduction:

This document, which only includes illustrations and names of different antiquated structural systems without any

corresponding structural or technical information, has been developed for the following reason. It has been my

experience that when you encounter an archaic system that you are not familiar with, the biggest initial hurdle you faceis identifying the type or specific name of the system. Once you know the name of the system it is much easier to look

for and research any available information on the same system. If you know of any additional systems not included in

this compilation of illustrations please contact me so this document can be updated on a regular basis. I can also be

contacted for requests concerning load tables and other data relating to the following illustrated systems.
