Synopsis

This book explores the stability of brick and stone arch bridges and domes found in historical architecture. The author begins with a historical overview of bridge design, discussing common building materials, and different types of arch bridges. The author then proposes a theory for determining which conditions lead to the collapse of an arch bridge. The theory is based on the idea that in order for an arch bridge to be stable, the joints between the blocks must remain compressed. This book will be of interest to architects and civil engineers.
