Reader reviews for The Stone Skeleton: Structural Engineering of Masonry Architecture

From the publisher

In this book, Heyman provides a thorough and intuitive understanding of masonry structures such as arch bridges, Greek temples, and Gothic cathedrals. Although the approach is firmly scientific, the author does not use complex mathematics. He introduces the basis of masonry analysis in the first two chapters, after which he considers individual structures--including piers, pinnacles, towers, vaults and domes--in more detail. This lucid and informative text will be of particular interest to structural engineers, practicing architects and others involved in the renovation and care of old stone buildings.

First line

Masonry is an assemblage of stones - or bricks, or indeed sun-dried mud (adobe) - classified for convenience with certain distinct labels, as Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, but recognized by engineers as having a common structural action.
