The City of Philadelphia, having mamy miles of large brick sewers with diameters as great as 20 feet, offers a favorable opportunity for studying, among other interesting questions, the stability of arches with long axes. And it has been especially facilitated by the occurrence of some failures, such as flattening at the crown, and spreading at the spring, or entire collapse. The usual design was a circular ring of brick, held in position by abutments, and spandrel filling of rubble masonry, the dimensions being calculated according to the ordinary empirical formulae.
