Hooke's cubico–parabolical conoid
In 1675 Robert Hooke published, as one of his ‘Inventions’, a Latin anagram concerning the ‘true...form of all manner of arches for building’. His discovery was that the shape of a light flexible cord subjected to specified loads would, when inverted, give the required shape of the perfect (masonry) arch to carry those same loads. Hooke knew that the catenary curve was not given by the parabola y = ax 2 , but he was unable to solve the problem ma…

142 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Second, although practices such as permitting goods to be sold in heaped and shallow measures bespeak a malevolent class struggle in which lords cheated peasants and capitalist employers cheated the working class, Kula’s obsession with this traditional Marxist axiom tends to be overdone. One senses at times that societal fric tions and hatreds were the primary reason for metrological diversifi cation and …
The Gothic Structure
An explanation of the extraordinary stability of masonry structures involve some account of the structural action of masonry. The final principles may be applied to any form of masonry construction, and the bridge is used illustratively to develop the ideas; the structural problems are encountered most critically in Gothic where the visually obtrusive flying buttresses are essential structurally to counter-balance the thrust from the high masonry…
Coulomb's Memoir on Statics
Coulomb read his Essai on statical to the French Academy in 1773. It is a document of great importance in the history of engineering since it laid the foundations of the modern science of soil mechanics and also discussed three other major problems of 18th-century civil engineering: the bending of beams, the fracture of columns and the calculation of abutment thrusts developed by masonry arches. Professor Heyman's book seeks tomake the Essai acce…
