This book introduces the author's innovative construction method for analyzing the stability of various arch designs. Suitable for arched bridges and vaulted domes of stone, brick, or metal, this method expands upon previous attempts by other notable researchers. The author doesn't merely restate earlier theories; he adds his own unique insights and equations to enhance our understanding of the forces at play. One chapter examines a novel application of this method to the flexible arch rib and stiffening truss, as well as to continuous girders with variable cross-sections. Through this, the author arrives at a general solution for the flexible arch rib with fixed ends. Another chapter details how to determine internal stresses in arches and shows how to combine these stresses with loading stresses, a subject not previously addressed. The book closes with a discussion on its practical applications for engineers and architects, displaying the true significance of these insights.
