Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of dock walls, structures that bridge the gap between masonry dams and retaining walls. The author, drawing on the work of pioneering figures like Archimedes, Coulomb, and Prony, meticulously examines the forces that govern these structures: water pressure, earth thrust, and the weight of the masonry itself. The text takes a methodical approach, presenting a series of problems that explore the interaction of these forces and their impact on a dock wall's stability. The author utilizes a graphic method to visualize the complex algebraic formulae, making the concepts accessible to a wider audience. This approach resonates with the emerging scientific advancements of the time, highlighting the importance of both theory and practice in engineering. Through detailed mathematical analysis, the author illuminates the intricate nature of earth thrust, a force that was only recently understood in its entirety. This book, therefore, provides a valuable historical and conceptual framework for understanding the design and construction of dock walls, revealing the crucial role that scientific principles play in the creation of enduring and safe infrastructure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332333219_0
