Descrição do livro
An Elementary Course Of Civil Engineering by Dennis Hart Mahan. This 19th-century American textbook offers a comprehensive introductory survey of civil engineering, designed as a practical text for United States Military Academy cadets. The work surveys the materials and methods of construction—stone, lime, cement, mortars, timber, and metals—and then expands to the strength of materials, masonry, foundations, and arches, including detailed treatment of bridges, road building, and canal navigation. It also covers carpentry, surveying, and the engineering of harbors, canals, railroads, and seacoast improvements, accompanied by plates and explanatory notes. The Preface emphasizes a balance of sound theory and accessible instruction, aiming to cultivate patient investigation and disciplined reasoning. The Supplement collects discussions on friction, circular arcs, arch equilibrium, and the practical design of centers and supports. Though rooted in 1837 American practice, the book remains a foundational historical resource for the pedagogy and history of civil engineering.
