2011 reprint of the 1956 second edition. This title made available for the first time an adequately organized, comprehensive analytical method for evaluating the stresses, reactions and deflections in an irregular piping system in space, unlimited as to the character, location or number of concentrated loadings or restraints. Profusely illustrated and meticulously detailed.
