Mémoire Sur La Recherche Des Moyens Que L'on Pourroit Employer Pour Construire De Grandes Arches De Pierre... by Jean-Rodolphe Perronet delves into the methods for constructing large stone arches spanning two hundred to five hundred feet. This historical text, written in French, explores the engineering principles and practical considerations involved in building such ambitious structures. Perronet's work offers insights into 18th-century construction techniques and the challenges of bridging deep valleys with durable, monumental arches.

This treatise is invaluable for students and scholars of civil engineering, architectural history, and French technological innovation. It provides a detailed look at the planning and execution of large-scale construction projects during the Enlightenment era, demonstrating the ingenuity and expertise required to realize these architectural marvels.
