Three-Hinged Masonry Arches; Long Spans Especially Considered
The advantages which well-designed masonry arches offer, as compared with the less durable structures of iron and steel, have been adequately demonstrated by modern experience. The cost of maintenance of iron and steel bridges, together with their more or less limited lasting qualities, are sometimes offset by the ease, simplicity and accuracy of design and erection to which they are susceptible. The time allowable for construction may also, in many cases, weigh strongly in their favor.
