Excerpt from New Constructions in Graphical Statics
The possibility of obtaining a direct and complete solution of the various forms of the stiff arch rib is found to depend upon a theorem not hitherto recognized, as to the manner in which the equilibrium curve due to the applied weights is made to coincide as nearly as possible with the curve of the arch, which itself acts as a partial equilibrium curve. It is the difference in position of these two curves which is the measure of the bending moment in the arch. The solution of the arch is further simplified by showing that it depends upon that of a straight girder of the same cross section.
The theorem above referred to, which may be properly named the Theorem Respecting the Coincidence of Closing Lines, may be considered to occupy in re lation to this subject, a place analogous to Gauss' Theorem of Least Constraint in Dynamics, or Moseley's Theorem of Least Resistance in Statics, and we may'

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents innovative concepts for understanding the stability of various forms of arches in great detail. The author takes a graphical approach to his analysis and establishes new theories based on his research. These theories provide more accurate results than the common analytic processes used in this area previously. With the use of diagrams, the text presents a new understanding of the stresses concerning these arches by isolating the sources of stress into combined suspended and girder reactions. The author also discusses how to solve for unknown quantities in any given arch problem, such as the amount of force required to construct a desired arch or the shape of the arch when a given amount of force is applied. This book is vital for engineers and architects involved in designing and constructing arches.
