Synopsis

Master the design of symmetrical masonry arches with practical, step‑by‑step methods
This book presents a simple, practical approach to designing arches using elastic theory. It focuses on masonry arches built from natural stone, plain concrete, and reinforced concrete, and it shows how to work through real examples that undergraduates and practicing engineers can follow easily.

The text balances theory with hands‑on calculation, emphasizing approximate formulas that are accurate enough for real projects. It guides readers through data and methods for hundreds of arch bridges, with careful checks and notes on common sources of error.

- Learn how to determine horizontal thrusts, bending moments, and fiber stresses for different loading scenarios
- See the impact of temperature changes, axial forces, and dead/live loads on arch performance
- Follow worked examples that illustrate subdivision of arches, calculation steps, and graphical methods
- Explore practical tables and empirical guidance for stone and concrete arches

Ideal for students, engineers in technical schools, and professionals who design or analyze arches using the elastic theory, this edition offers clear explanations, worked problems, and practical insights for reliable arch design.
