The Theory of the Continuous Girder; Its Application to Girders with and Without Variable Cross-Sections

The Theory of the Continuous Girder: Its Application to Girders with and without Variable Cross-Sections is a book written by Malverd A. Howe in 1889. The book is a comprehensive study of the theory of continuous girders, which are structural elements used to support loads over long spans. The author presents a detailed analysis of the behavior of continuous girders under different loading conditions and provides practical examples of their application in engineering design. The book also covers the design of girders with variable cross-sections, which are commonly used in modern construction. The author's approach is highly mathematical, making use of advanced calculus and differential equations to derive the equations governing the behavior of continuous girders. The book is intended for professional engineers and students of civil engineering who are interested in the design and analysis of large-scale structures. Despite its age, the book remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of engineering and the development of structural design theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
