Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a step-by-step method for designing masonry arches using the elastic theory. The formulas and methods presented are approximate but accurate enough for practical purposes, with particular emphasis on determining maximum stresses to avoid structural failure. The book employs unit load method, widely recognized as the only satisfactory method to calculate maximum stresses. The historical background of the subject of structural analysis of arches is examined to define the assumptions and limitations of various theories that have been developed over the centuries. The author's approach is based upon assuming that masonry arches are constructed of materials and under conditions that are more or less uncertain in character; therefore, rigid formulas are neither necessary nor warranted. Instead, the book focuses on providing the reader with a contextual understanding of how and why specific theories and formulas were developed for analyzing masonry arches, offering practical tools for structural engineers to safely design and build these impressive structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
