Excerpt from The Theory of Structures
The First Edition of this book has been used by the author for the last four years as a text-book in large classes containing many mature students. Such errors and obscurities as have been discovered during that period have been eliminated in this edition. Additional matter, including an extension of the treatment of swing bridges, and chapters upon the Theorem of Least Work, Earth Pressure, Masonry Dams and Masonry Arches have been inserted. A few new problems for solution have also been added.
The author wishes to express his appreciation of the valuable assistance and suggestions he has received from some of the past and present members of the Civil Engineering Instructing Staff at Technology, and from certain graduate students. He is particularly indebted to Mr. Howard B. Luther, S. B., Dipl. -Ing., instructor in Civil Engineering.
