Excerpt from Skeleton Structures: Especially in Their Application to the Building of Steel and Iron Bridges
This induced me to look particularly into the matter, and the success has proved the truth of my supposition, and has shown that we can found upon this a new principle of construction, which possesses remarkable advantages: it is the principle which. Under the name of Skeleton Structures, is more closely examined in this treatise.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a novel structural concept for bridges and other architectural structures, which the author calls "skeleton structures." Skeleton structures consist of lightweight, modular components mechanically bolted together. The author argues that this approach offers significant advantages over traditional construction methods, particularly in terms of material efficiency, rigidity, and ease of construction. The book provides detailed theoretical calculations and practical examples to demonstrate the feasibility and versatility of this innovative design. Through a sustained examination of skeleton structures in the context of bridge engineering, the author provides fresh insights into the historical development of structural concepts and the potential for further innovation in the field.
