Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Concrete Bridges and Culverts, for Both Railroads and Highways
In the preparation of this manual, the effort has therefore been made, to as far as possible eliminate mathematical formulae, and to present the subject in the simplest possible manner. Only such material is given as is directly required in the design and construction of ordinary concrete or masonry arches, so it Will be unnecessary for the busy engineer to spend valuable time and thought in the perusal and study of obstruse mathematical treatises. Fracti cing engineers have but little time for mathematical investigation, and generally must accept formulae as given to them by others.
