What reading level is Engineering Economics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The economics of column spacing for bents when cantilever brackets are employed is an interesting little problem, but the final determination must be in accordance with good judgment as well as economy; for if the spacing be too small, rigidity is likely to be sacrificed. Upon certain assumptions of approximate correctness, the mathematical solution of this problem is a possibility; but the equations involved would be so complicated that it is much better for any particular case to assume two o...r three spacings, compute the total weight of metal in the bent for each, and find the one which will give approximately the least weight of metal. If the columns are placed at the quarter points of the beam, the dead load bending moment at the middle will be approximately zero; and if the effect of stress reversion is ignored, the direct and reverse bending moments for the central portion of the beam will be equal, and this arrangement would be about the most economical possible. But if the reversion is considered, the sectional area of the middle portion of the beam must be greater than that of the outside portions, hence for economy its length should be somewhat less than one-half of the total, and the columns would then be spaced somewhat closer than when they are located at the quarter points.
