Theory and Calculation of Cantilever Bridges

Theory and Calculation of Cantilever Bridges (1898) offers a detailed exploration of the principles and practices involved in the design and construction of cantilever bridges. Authored by Ralph McIntosh Wilcox, this work provides a comprehensive examination of the theoretical underpinnings and practical calculations essential for engineers and students in the late 19th century.

The book delves into the methodologies for analyzing the structural integrity and load-bearing capabilities of cantilever bridge designs. It presents a systematic approach to understanding the forces at play and ensuring the stability of these impressive structures. This historical text provides valuable insights into the engineering techniques of the era and remains relevant for those interested in the history of civil engineering and bridge construction.
