Theory of Steel-Concrete Arches and of Vaulted Structures is a book written by William Cain, first published in 1901. The book is a comprehensive guide to the design, construction, and analysis of steel-concrete arches and vaulted structures. The author provides a detailed explanation of the theoretical principles and practical methods used in the design and construction of these structures.The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the design of steel-concrete arches, including the analysis of stresses, the determination of the curve of equilibrium, and the calculation of the dimensions of the arch. The author also discusses the various types of arches and their applications.The second part of the book focuses on the design of vaulted structures, including the analysis of stresses, the determination of the form of the vault, and the calculation of the dimensions of the structure. The author also discusses the various types of vaults and their applications.Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and illustrations to help the reader understand the concepts and methods presented. The book is intended for architects, engineers, and students of architecture and engineering who are interested in the design and construction of steel-concrete arches and vaulted structures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
