Master a practical, visual approach to bridge stresses with this graphic method.

This concise, study-friendly guide explains how to analyze the stresses in ordinary swing bridges using simple geometric constructions and clear rules.

This edition presents the general theory of graphical statics and then shows how to apply it to swing-bridge analysis. It combines foundational principles with a hands-on method, making complex forces easier to visualize and solve.

Learn the core principles of graphical statics and how lines can represent forces.
Follow step-by-step guidance to build force polygons and equilibrium diagrams.
See practical techniques for calculating pier moments and live-load stresses in a two-span bridge.

Ideal for students, engineers, and professionals seeking a portable, graphical approach to structural analysis. If you work with bridge or roof trusses, this edition offers a clear path from theory to real-world calculations.
