An Elementary Course Of Civil Engineering: For The Use Of The Cadets Of The United States' Military Academy - Softcover
Synopsis
An Elementary Course Of Civil Engineering: For The Use Of The Cadets Of The United States' Military Academy by Dennis Hart Mahan. An early American classic, this treatise offers a rigorous, practice-oriented introduction to civil engineering. Spanning materials, masonry, foundations, arches, bridges, carpentry, roads, canals, rails, and coast improvements, it blends theoretical mechanics with practical guidance. The text presents systematic discussions of stone, mortar, lime, cement, sand, and mortars; timber and metals; methods of masonry, arch construction, and the reinforcement of arches; detailed analysis of frames, joints, and built beams; and extensive coverage of surveys, road planning, drainage, canal and rail navigation, and harbor works. It emphasizes sound design, durability, and economy, grounded in algebraic relations for strength of materials and empirical construction practices. The work includes plates and explanatory notes, reflecting its 19th-century pedagogical roots and its enduring influence on engineering education.
