Excerpt from Theory of Solid and Braced Elastic Arches

In Chapter I the elastic theory is devel oped. In Chapter II the application to a concrete arch is given in full. The graphical treatment is shorter than that given in the author's Steel-concrete Arches, and the R�sum� of Operations given should put the draftsman in com plete possession of the method. The alge braie solution that follows is especially recommended, however, as it enables the pressure line to be established to any de sirable degree of accuracy.

In Chapter III an algebraic solution for a three-centered arch is given in great detail for a moving load in various posi tions, corresponding to maximum mo ments at critical sections. In Chapter IV temperature and allied stresses are found, and in Chapter V the method of single loads is developed and applied to a rein forced-concrete arch. The method being simple and easily followed, the hope is'ex pressed that this method of single loads may come into more favor than it has in the past. The book concludes, in Chapter VI, with a treatment of arches with two and three hinges.
