Descrição do livro
An Elementary Course Of Civil Engineering by Joseph Mathieu Sganzin. This English translation presents a compact, practice-oriented introduction to civil engineering for students, builders, and public officials. It is organized in three parts: Part I covers materials—stones (argillaceous, calcareous, gypsumous, siliceous), rubble, bricks, pisé, lime, mortars, plaster, wood—and the performance of mortars, with notes on ancient and modern binders. Part II applies these materials to roads and bridges, including road classification and profiles, leveling, surveying, arches and centring, and methods for constructing large bridges. Part III discusses navigation and railways, including natural and artificial navigation, canals, locks, basins, dry docks, harbors, jetty design, and railway construction. The translator adds adaptations for United States practice and Marine Railways. Throughout, the text emphasizes practical geometry, material choice, durability, and the balance between economy and safety. Originating in the early 1820s, the work reflects early 19th-century methods and pedagogy, providing foundational knowledge for civil engineers and practitioners.
