5 vols. A fine clean set in the original black limp cloth as issued. Arthur Vierendeel (10 April 1852 – 8 November 1940) was a Belgian civil engineer born in Leuven, where he also studied and had a very long career as university professor. He obtained an MSc in engineering in 1874 at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. His work, Cours de stabilité des constructions (1889) was an important reference during more than half a century. His first bridge was built in Avelgem in 1902, crossing the Scheldt river. The construction of this bridge became famous through the Stijn Streuvels book "De Teloorgang van de Waterhoek". During World War I and World War II, many Vierendeel bridges were destroyed, some survived and others were rebuilt. The Vierendeel principle, a construction similar to a truss but with rigid joints, was used in the New York World Trade Center.
