The Theory of Arches and Suspension Bridges is a book written by Josef Melan in 1913. This book is an in-depth study of the theory behind the design and construction of arches and suspension bridges. It covers various topics related to the mechanics of structures, including the analysis of forces, stresses, and strains in arches and suspension bridges. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the theory of arches, while the second part focuses on suspension bridges. The first part covers the fundamental principles of arches, including the different types of arches, their behavior under load, and their stability. It also discusses the analysis of forces and stresses in arches, the calculation of arches, and the design of arches for different types of loads.The second part of the book explores the theory of suspension bridges. It covers the different types of suspension bridges, their behavior under load, and their stability. It also discusses the analysis of forces and stresses in suspension bridges, the calculation of suspension bridges, and the design of suspension bridges for different types of loads.The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of civil engineering. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in the theory and design of arches and suspension bridges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
