X.--PROGRAMME OF THE COURSE ON CONSTRUCTION.
The course on construction is divided into four parts.
The first part relates to the elements of masonry and the principles
which should regulate the form, dimensions, and the construction of
walls, and the different parts of buildings; it contains eighteen
lectures.
The second part is devoted to the architecture of military
buildings--twelve lectures.
The third part supplies the theory of the stability of construction, and
is divided into--
1st section, relating to the resistance of materials--six lectures.
2d “ to the stability of walls of revetments and arches--nine
lectures.
The fourth part applies to constructions in water--twenty lectures.
The course is very nearly the same for the Artillery as for the
Engineers.
ELEMENTS OF MASONRY, ETC.
_Lectures_ 1, 2, and 3.--Relate to the elements of which masonry is
composed, such as the different kinds of stones, usual dimensions,
manner in which good stone may be known; bricks, lime, cement, sand,
mortar, stucco, mastic plaster, asphalte, &c., and to the general
considerations relating to foundations, and the different kinds of walls
under various circumstances.
