The book is a comprehensive guide to the construction of various types of arches, including natural stone, plain-concrete, and reinforced-concrete arches. The book begins with an introduction to arches, their history, and their uses in architecture. It then delves into the different types of arches and their construction methods, providing detailed instructions and diagrams for each type. The author also covers the design and calculation of arches, including the determination of the arch's rise, span, and thickness. He explains the importance of symmetry and balance in arch construction and provides examples of different types of arches in historical and modern architecture. The book also includes a section on the construction of arches using modern materials such as reinforced concrete, which was a relatively new technology at the time of the book's publication.
