Excerpt from Theory of Solid and Braced Elastic Arches: Applied to Arch Bridges and Roofs in Iron, Wood, Concrete or Other Materials; Graphical Analysis
Much that is new will be found in what follows: notably, the exact solu tion Of the voussoir arch in certain cases, the first correct graphical determination Of temperature strains and of the arch hinged outside of the center line.
The notation Of the equilibrium poly gons, too, will be appreciated, as it tends to avoid mistake.
It is hoped that the book will be found useful to the practitioner and Of interest to the student Of Graphical Statics, con taining as it does the most important applications Of the equilibrium polygon.

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.
