"Manuel De L'Ing nieur Des Ponts Et Chauss es", Volume 18, by Alphonse Alexis Debauve, is a comprehensive engineering manual originally published in 1884. This volume offers insights into the civil engineering practices of the late 19th century, specifically concerning the construction and maintenance of bridges and roads. Authored in accordance with the program annexed to the decree of March 7, 1868, which regulated the admission of conductors of bridges and roads to the grade of engineer, it reflects the structured approach to engineering education and practice of the time.
This historical text provides valuable context for understanding the evolution of civil engineering and infrastructure development. It serves as a reference for those interested in the history of engineering, transportation, and the specific techniques used in bridge and road construction during the late 1800s.
