Excerpt from Principles of Economy in the Design of Metallic Bridges
As a triumphant example of what the highest branches of the theory of elasticity, essentially the achievement of the genius of French savants, are capable of producing, the work done by the eminent Member of the Institute, Mr. M. G.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a deep scholarly dive into the scientific and economic theory behind the design of bridges, exploring a range of different types and their merits. The author's work builds on a century of previous research, taking into account the latest knowledge of materials science and the behavior of structures under stress and strain. The book examines different bridge forms, from simple beam bridges to complex suspension bridges, exploring various strategies for optimizing the use of materials, and therefore minimizing cost. The book describes and builds upon the work done by engineers over the years, by referencing a range of historical examples, and by drawing on experimental data from testing. The author argues that the quest for maximum economy and utility in bridge design leads naturally to a focus on theoretical minimum quantity of material, and that practice and true theory are by no means in conflict.
