Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of masonry arches, presenting a practical guide for engineers and students seeking to understand the principles behind their design. It offers a simplified approach to the elastic theory, a crucial framework for analyzing the behavior of arches under stress. The author recognizes that real-world masonry construction often involves uncertainties in material properties and building conditions, making overly complex formulas impractical. The book therefore focuses on providing accurate, yet approachable methods for calculating essential parameters like horizontal thrust and bending moments. To illustrate these methods, the book features numerous detailed examples that meticulously walk the reader through each step of the calculation process. This hands-on approach makes it an invaluable resource for those who prefer concrete applications of theory. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the limitations of the elastic theory when applied to real-world arches, particularly those constructed of natural stone. He meticulously examines the complexities introduced by the varying properties of stone, the role of mortar joints, and the impact of surrounding structures. The book ultimately underscores the importance of considering these factors alongside the elastic theory to achieve accurate and safe designs for masonry arches.
