Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an 1878 text offering a concise study of analytical methods in designing bridges and arches. The author, a prominent engineer and educator, sought to simplify the process of analyzing forces using graphical constructions as an alternative to mathematical calculations. Graphical analysis in bridge-building was first printed in 1874 by the author himself. Here, he expands on and corrects that work, offering a more thorough explanation of the relative simplicity of these graphical constructions compared to traditional mathematical methods. The text also provides a method for drawing diagrams to determine the stresses in bridge trusses created by a moving load. The result is a simplified and economical process for designing and analyzing the strength of arches and bridges, providing engineers with a valuable tool. This book continues to be of interest to researchers and historians in the field of structural engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
