Brücken-Bau, oder, Anweisung, wie allerley Arten von Brücken, sowohl von Holz als Steinen, nach den besten Regeln der Zimmerkunst dauerhaft anzulegen sind : in zweenen Theilen, jungen und unerfahrnen Zimmerleuten zum Unterrichte
Brücken-Bau is a 1766 German carpentry manual by Caspar Walter, published in Augsburg for young and inexperienced carpenters learning to build timber and stone bridges. Its engraved plates show numbered framing drawings of truss bridges, pile foundations, cranes and pile-driving frames, drawn in plan and elevation with hatched timber. A designer could take from them the clarity of technical line diagrams, with labelled figures and tight geometric structure.
