Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a systematic graphical approach to determine stress and deformation of bridges and roof trusses, three-hinged arches, cantilevers, and other structures of that type. The method, which is explained in great detail, employs the principles of composition and resolution of forces, and culminates in a discussion of suspended cantilevers. The historical context of the book is in the development of graphical methods to the study of statics. The book organizes its discussion around the idea that the graphical approach provides not only a straightforward way to find magnitudes and directions of forces in statically determinate structures, but also a method for visualizing and estimating deformation. The author's insights lay the foundation for the reader to effectively tackle the design and analysis of bridges and other large structures made up of articulated members.
