About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Bridge Construction: In Timber, Iron and Steel A sad, an almost tragic te is necessarily imported into this short preface by reason of the conditions under which it was produced. The author provided the outlines when his death in the plenitude of his mental powers was impending, and when the revision of the proofs of a work that had occupied eight or nine years of the limited leisure of a busy life was taxing a physical strength which up to a point had seemed abundant. Mr. Morgan Davies completed the task he had undertaken - that was a source of comfort and solace to him in his last hours - and whilst still comparatively young, died as he had lived, the embodiment of patient courage, devoted to the profession he had enriched by his labours. This work is based upon tes of lectures delivered from time to time to students of Civil Engineering at the Swansea Technical College. In his capacity as lecturer the author found that in many, if t in most books dealing with Bridge Construction, the formulae for determining the stresses in bridge structures were of too general a character. They involved the use of higher mathematics and consequently could t be intelligently employed by the average student, r indeed in all cases by engineers who had t applied themselves particularly to the study of Bridge Construction.
