الصفحة 94 - In case the contractor shall refuse or neglect to perform the (aforesaid) works, or any of them, in manner hereinbefore in the said specification mentioned, or to obey and comply with any orders or directions to be given by the engineer, or in case at any time during the progress of the works there shall appear to the engineer to be any unnecessary delay in the carrying on of the works, or any part thereof, either by not employing a sufficient number of workmen, or otherwise howsoever, or in case...

الصفحة 24 - In other cases of arches where sandstones, such as Bramley Fall and Whitby, were employed, and their beds faced and dressed as usual, the angle of gliding was found to vary from 35° to 36°. But with m'ortar interposed, the angle generally varied from 33° to 34°. It results from these and other experiments, that friction, by absorbing part of the horizontal thrust, is a most powerful assistant in maintaining the equilibrium of arches, and enables us to determine with something like precision the...
الصفحة 4 - A', not intersecting the surface of contact 1 2 within the mass of the structure, but when imagined to be produced beyond it to a ; then the whole pressure upon this part acting in a' A' would have caused it to turn upon the edge 2 of the surface of contact 1 2 ; and similarly if the resultant had been in a" A", then it would have caused the mass to revolve upon the edge 1.
الصفحة 3 - STONES.* A STRUCTURE may yield, under the pressures to which it is subjected, either by the slipping of certain of its surfaces of contact upon one another, or by their turning over upon the edges of one another ; and these two conditions involve the whole question of its stability.
الصفحة 5 - ... of that structure may be determined, subject to these conditions ; or lastly, certain conditions being assumed both as it regards the form of the structure and its line of resistance, all that is necessary to the existence of these assumed conditions may be found. Let the structure ABDC, fig.
الصفحة 6 - MN, with the surface of the structure. Thus, then, it is a condition of the equilibrium that the line of resistance shall intersect the common surface of contact of each two contiguous portions of the structure, actually within the mass of the structure ; or, in other words, that it shall actually go through each joint of the structure, avoiding none ; this condition being necessary, that no two portions of the structure may revolve on the edges of their common surface of contact. THE LINE OF PRESSURE.
الصفحة 61 - Although a true mathematical adjustment of the surfaces of the voussoirs to one another can have no existence in practice when the voussoirs are put together without cement, yet may it obtain in the cemented arch. The cement, by reason of its yielding qualities when fresh, is made to enter into so intimate a contact with the surfaces of the stones between which it is interposed, that it takes when dry, in respect to each joint, (abstraction being made of its adhesive properties,) the character of...
الصفحة 5 - ... mass to revolve upon the edge 1. The resultant having the direction a A, the mass will not be made to revolve on either edge of the surface of contact 1, 2. Thus the condition that no two parts of the mass should be made by the insistent pressures to turn over upon the edge of their common surface of contact is involved in this other, that the direction of the resultant, taken in respect to every position of the intersecting surface, shall intersect that surface actually within the mass of the...
الصفحة 4 - A., which correspond to these several planes of intersection. In each such position of the intersecting surface, the resultant spoken of having its direction produced, will intersect that surface either within the mass of the structure, or, when that surface is imagined to be produced, without it. If it intersect it without the mass of the structure, then the whole pressure upon one of the parts, acting in the direction of this resultant, will cause that part to turn over upon the edge of its common...
