Graphic Statics: Czech Contribution in the 19th and in the Beginning of the 20th Centuries

The project of graphic statics is studying hitherto little explored part of Czech technical history, in which the Czech lands were developmentally comparable, if not in advance, with other technologically advanced countries in Europe and North America. An important part of the project is to reveal the transfer of this computational method in engineering practice of the 19th and early 20th centuries from Western Europe to the Czech lands and original contribution of the Czech environment to this field.
