Description
The Stone Skeleton: A thorough understanding of masonry structures is provided in this comprehensive guide. Jacques Heyman explains the basis of masonry analysis and applies it to various structures, including arch bridges, Greek temples, and Gothic cathedrals.
With a focus on scientific principles rather than complex mathematics, this book offers an accessible approach to understanding the structural integrity of these historic buildings. It is particularly relevant for structural engineers, architects, and those involved in the renovation and care of old stone buildings.
