Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theory of solid and braced elastic arches using graphical analysis. It begins with a discussion of elasticity theory and demonstrates the graphical analysis of solid arches. The book then introduces the equilibrium polygon and explores its properties, such as the graphical determination of bending moments. The author provides a detailed explanation of how to locate the pressure curve, which is crucial for understanding the behavior of arches under load. The book also discusses the application of the theory to voussoir arches, which are constructed from individual stones. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of these insights for understanding the mechanics of solid and braced elastic arches, making it an essential resource for engineers and researchers in the field of structural mechanics.
