The Principles of Bridges: Containing the Mathematical Demonstrations of the Properties of the Arches, the Thickness of the Piers, the Force of the Water against Them, etc. - Cambridge Library Collection - Technology
Charles Hutton
After flooding destroyed several bridges across the Tyne in November 1771, the mathematician Charles Hutton (1737–1823) published this mathematical treatment the following year. The work demonstrates the preferred dimensions of arches and piers, and analyses the force of water they must withstand.
