point of the abutment joint,Fig. 396, as the starting point of an equilibrium polygon(or abutment of a linear arch) for a given loading, and re-quire that this equilibrium polygon shall pass through p,the middle of the crown joint, and through the middle ofthe abutment joint on the right (not shown… … Fig. 39G. Fig. 397 tical separating the divisions (not the gravity verticals).The points in which these joints are cut by the segmentsof the equilibrium polygon, Fig. 397, are (very nearly, ifthe joint is not more than 60° from p, the crown) the pointsof application in these joints, respectively,…
