商品描述
This book covers the wide spectrum of subjects relating to obtaining and using building stones, starting with their geological origin and then describing the nature of granites, volcanics, limestones, sandstones, flint, metamorphic stones, breccias and conglomerates, with emphasis being placed on how to recognise the different stones via the many illustrated examples from Great Britain and other countries. The life of a building stone is explained from its origin in the quarry, through its exposure to the elements when used for a building, to its eventual deterioration. The structure of stone buildings is then discussed, with explanations of the mechanics of pillars, lighthouses and walls, arches, bridges, buttresses and roof vaults, plus castles and cathedrals.
The sequence of the historical architectural styles of stone buildings is explained--from the early days through to postmodern buildings. Special attention is paid to two famous architects: the Roman Vitruvius and the English Sir Christopher Wren who designed and supervised the construction of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. To demonstrate many of the concepts presented, two exemplary stone buildings are described in detail: the Albert Memorial in London and Durham Cathedral in northern England. The former building is interesting because it is comprised of a cornucopia of different building stones and the latter building because of its architecture and sandstone decay mechanisms. In the final Chapter, ruined stone buildings are discussed--the many reasons for their decay and the possibility of their 'rebirth' via digital recording of their geometry.
The book has over 350 pages and is illustrated with more than 450 diagrams and colour photographs of both the various stones and the associated stone buildings. Readers' knowledge of the subject will be greatly enhanced by these images and the related explanatory text. A wide-ranging references and bibliography section is also included.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書涵蓋了與獲取和使用建築石材相關的廣泛主題，從其地質起源開始，然後描述花崗岩、火山岩、石灰岩、砂岩、燧石、變質岩、角礫岩和砾岩的特性，重點放在如何通過來自英國和其他國家的多個插圖範例來識別不同的石材。建築石材的生命從其在採石場的起源開始，經過在建築中暴露於自然環境，直到最終的劣化。接著討論石建築的結構，解釋柱子、燈塔和牆壁、拱門、橋樑、扶壁和屋頂穹頂的機械原理，以及城堡和大教堂。
石建築的歷史建築風格的演變也有說明——從早期到後現代建築。特別關注兩位著名建築師：羅馬的維特魯威和英國的克里斯多福·雷恩爵士，他設計並監督了倫敦聖保羅大教堂的建設。為了展示許多提出的概念，詳細描述了兩座典範的石建築：倫敦的阿爾伯特紀念碑和英格蘭北部的達勒姆大教堂。前者的建築有趣之處在於它由多種不同的建築石材組成，而後者則因其建築風格和砂岩劣化機制而引人注目。在最後一章中，討論了毀壞的石建築——它們劣化的多種原因以及通過數位記錄其幾何形狀實現「重生」的可能性。
本書超過350頁，並配有450多幅圖表和各種石材及相關石建築的彩色照片，這些圖像和相關的解釋文字將大大增強讀者對該主題的理解。此外，書中還包含了廣泛的參考文獻和書目部分。
作者簡介
Coming from a long line of stone masons and mining engineers, John A Hudson graduated from the Heriot-Watt University, UK, and obtained his PhD at the University of Minnesota, USA. He spent his professional career in consulting, research, teaching and publishing in engineering rock mechanics, and was awarded the DSc. degree by the Heriot-Watt University for his contributions to the subject. He authored many scientific papers and books, and was the editor of the 1993 five-volume "Comprehensive Rock Engineering" compendium, and from 1983-2006 editor of the International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences. Since 1983, he has been affiliated with Imperial College London as Reader, Professor and Emeritus Professor. In 1998, he became a Fellow of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering and was President of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) for the period 2007-2011. Additionally, he completed consulting assignments in many countries. In 2015, the prestigious ISRM Müller Award was conferred on Professor Hudson in recognition of "an outstanding career that combines theoretical and applied rock engineering with a profound understanding of the basic sciences of geology and mechanics".
John Cosgrove is a Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences and Engineering, Imperial College London, UK. He obtained both his MSc (1969) and PhD (1972) from Imperial College. Following a two-year Post-doctoral Fellowship at MacMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, he returned in 1973 to Imperial College to take up a Lectureship and has since been promoted to Professor. He won the Paul Fourmarier Gold Medal, awarded by the Royal Academy of Belgium in 2005 for work on fluid induced failure in the crust and has also received awards for excellence in teaching from Imperial College. He was responsible for the M.Sc. course in Structural Geology & Rock Mechanics for the period (1978-1998). His present research interests relate to the interplay between stress, fractures and fluid flow in the Earth's crust. His earlier co-authored book (Price N.J. & Cosgrove J.W. 1990 "Analysis of Geological Structures") has been used worldwide. He has worked extensively on research for the hydrocarbon and mining industry (the dewatering of basins and the impact of the resulting fluids on mineralisation and hydrocarbon migration & concentration), radioactive waste disposal and other rock mechanics applications. He has a strong interest in the many geological aspects of building stones and the related architectural aspects as is manifested in this book.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
來自一個長期從事石匠和礦業工程師的家族，**John A Hudson** 畢業於英國赫瑞瓦特大學，並在美國明尼蘇達大學獲得博士學位。他的職業生涯專注於顧問、研究、教學和工程岩石力學的出版，並因對該領域的貢獻而獲得赫瑞瓦特大學的科學博士學位。他撰寫了許多科學論文和書籍，並於1993年編輯了五卷本的《綜合岩石工程》彙編，從1983年至2006年擔任《國際岩石力學與礦業科學期刊》的編輯。自1983年以來，他一直在倫敦帝國學院擔任講師、教授及名譽教授。1998年，他成為英國皇家工程院的院士，並於2007年至2011年期間擔任國際岩石力學學會（ISRM）會長。此外，他在多個國家完成了顧問任務。2015年，因其「結合理論與應用岩石工程，並對地質學和力學的基本科學有深刻理解」的卓越職業生涯，哈德森教授獲頒享有盛譽的ISRM穆勒獎。
**John Cosgrove** 是英國倫敦帝國學院地球科學與工程系的教授。他於1969年和1972年分別獲得帝國學院的碩士和博士學位。在加拿大安大略省漢密爾頓的麥克馬斯特大學完成兩年的博士後研究後，他於1973年回到帝國學院擔任講師，並隨後晉升為教授。他因在地殼中流體誘發失效方面的研究而於2005年獲得比利時皇家學院頒發的保羅·福馬里耶金獎，並因教學卓越而獲得帝國學院的獎項。他負責1978年至1998年間的結構地質學與岩石力學碩士課程。他目前的研究興趣涉及地殼中的應力、裂縫和流體流動之間的相互作用。他早期共同撰寫的書籍（Price N.J. & Cosgrove J.W. 1990《地質結構分析》）已在全球廣泛使用。他在碳氫化合物和礦業行業（包括盆地的排水及其對礦化和碳氫化合物遷移與濃縮的影響）、放射性廢物處理及其他岩石力學應用方面進行了廣泛的研究。他對建材的多種地質特性及其相關的建築方面有濃厚的興趣，這在本書中得到了體現。
