Synopsis
Skeleton Structures: Especially In Their Application To The Building Of Steel And Iron Bridges is a book written by Olaus Henrici and originally published in 1867. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and techniques involved in constructing steel and iron bridges using skeleton structures. Henrici's work is considered to be a seminal text in the field of bridge engineering and has been widely cited and referenced in subsequent literature.The book begins with an introduction to the basic principles of skeleton structures and their application to bridge building. Henrici then goes on to discuss the design and construction of various types of bridges, including suspension bridges, arch bridges, and truss bridges. He provides detailed descriptions of the various components of these structures, such as the cables, towers, piers, and girders, and explains how they work together to support the weight of the bridge and the traffic that crosses it.Throughout the book, Henrici emphasizes the importance of careful planning and precise calculations in bridge engineering. He provides numerous examples of successful bridge designs and construction projects from around the world, as well as cautionary tales of bridges that failed due to design flaws or construction errors.Overall, Skeleton Structures: Especially In Their Application To The Building Of Steel And Iron Bridges is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theory of bridge engineering. Henrici's clear and concise writing style, combined with his extensive knowledge and experience in the field, make this book an essential read for engineers, architects, and students of civil engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
