The Theory of Strains: A Compendium for the Calculation and Construction of Bridges, Roofs and Cranes, With the Application of Trigonometrical Notes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
The Theory of Strains is a practical, beginner-friendly guide to calculating strains in bridges, roofs, and cranes.
It focuses on real-world problems, including variable loads, to help builders and engineers protect structures and people.
The text emphasizes clear explanations and step-by-step methods, from simple lever and truss concepts to the more complex Method of Moments. Examples cover parallel-flanged girders, isosceles bracing, and domed rib systems, with an aim to make calculations accessible to those with limited mathematics knowledge while remaining useful for experienced engineers.
- Learn how to analyze different truss and girder systems under permanent and rolling loads
- Apply the parallelogram of forces and the Method of Moments to real cases
- Work with diagrams and tables that illustrate strains in flanges, braces, and ties
- Explore applications to arches, domes, and crane skeletons with practical guidance
Ideal for readers who design, build, or study structural systems and want a solid, hands‑on reference.

The Theory of Strains (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theory of strains in the context of beams, bridges, and other structures. It offers methods to calculate strains under both permanent and variable loads. The author presents an introduction to the lever in various applications. The book covers the properties and applications of various types of trusses, including semi-girders, parallel-flanged girders, and parabolic girders. It utilizes the Method of Moments to calculate strains and deflections, providing clear explanations of the principles and equations involved. The book discusses the influence of temperature and variable loads on bridge structures, along with strategies for mitigating their effects. The concluding chapter presents a comparative analysis of strain results for a permanent load. By understanding the principles and calculations presented in this book, engineers and builders can design and construct more efficient and durable structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
