Extract

In the investigations usually given of the equilibrium of the stone bridge, it is assumed that the strains follow the same law as in the suspension bridge, the one being a case of stable, the other a case of instable, equilibrium; and, resulting from this hypothesis, formulæ are given whereby to determine the extrados suitable to a prescribed intrados.
