Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of Graphic Statics
Tim study of Graphic Statics, as a subject sui generis, has made but little progress in England, though the great value of numerous Graphic methods has long been fully acknowledged. While in many of the great Engineering Schools of the Continent the subject is deemed worthy of a professional chair, in England it is left to be gleaned almost hap-h'azard. A method more or less is thrown into a course of teaching, according to the predilection, or dislike of the teacher for Graphic modes of procedure.
And yet the subject is valuable, not merely as a means to an end, but as a part of mental training. A mind brought up only on mathematical symbols is but half trained: the Graphic is the complement of the Analytical process. And the power conferred by Graphic method is to a large extent at the disposal of those who have had but little mathematical training. The writer once had occasion to explain a practical application of the triangle of forces to a class of working men, who seemed at once to grasp and appreciate it.

Excerpt from The Principles of Graphic Statics
Since this book was published, nearly nine years have elapsed, during which the subject has made steady progress in this country. Systematic teaching has to a great extent taken the place of the desultory adoption of a method here and there in a course of engineering study. Graphic Statics tends more and more to be read on the ground of its educational value, and not merely for what it can accomplish; while it is now generally recognised that no real grasp of the subject, no certainty of handling, can be attained without a mastery of principles.
Under these circumstances, and to meet the demand which exist both here and in America, it has been decided to issue a cheaper edition. Pressure of other work has rendered it impossible for the writer to make additions which would perhaps add to such usefulness as the book may claim. He has been obliged, therefore, to content himself with revision and the minor amplifications suggested by small difficulties which have been experienced by various correspondents. The proofs have been read by Mr. T. H. Eagles, M. A., Instructor in Geometrical Drawing and Lecturer in Architecture at the R. I. E. College, Coopers Hill, to whose kind assistance, generously proffered, the writer is deeply indebted.

The book presents the principles of graphic statics and illustrates them with numerous examples of their application to the analysis of structures such as bridges, roofs, and retaining walls. It also includes a discussion of the use of graphic statics to determine the reactions at the supports of a structure and to calculate the stresses in its members. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
