Excerpt from Treatise on the Various Elements of Stability in the Well-Proportioned Arch: With Numerous Tales of the Ultimate and Actual Thrust In almost all practical cases this true thrust is due to rotation, and is developed at the instant of equilibrium preceding rupture and fall. For convenience we have called this the ultimate thrust. It is obviously much less than the actual thrust of the well-established arch nor has any relation between the two been hitherto pointed out.

Daniel Phineas Woodbury was born on December 16, 1812, at New London, New Hampshire, the son of Daniel Woodbury and Rhapsima Messenger.
Woodbury received his early education at Hopkinton Academy. He then entered Dartmouth College, but left in 1832 upon his appointment as a cadet at the United States Military Academy. He was graduated in 1836 and commissioned second lieutenant in the 3rd Artillery, but was transferred soon afterwards to the engineers.
For some years he was employed on the construction of the Cumberland road in Ohio, then in the construction and repair of fortifications in Boston and Portsmouth harbors, and in the War Department in Washington. From 1847 to 1850 he was engaged in building Fort Kearny, on the Missouri River, and Fort Laramie, which later developed into the city of Laramie, Wyo. These were two of the military posts established to guard the route to Oregon. Later he served in North Carolina and Florida, where among other duties he supervised the construction of Fort Jefferson in the Tortugas and Fort Taylor at Key West. Both of these fortifications were regarded as of immense importance for the maintenance of naval control of the Gulf of Mexico, and they afterwards came within Woodbury's command during the Civil War. He was promoted first lieutenant in 1838 and captain in 1853. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was stationed in Washington, D. C. , the early defenses of which he had a share in planning. He helped to make the reconnaissance on which McDowell's orders for the battle of Bull Run were based, and personally conducted Hunter's and Heintzelman's troops on their march to turn the Confederate left flank. Woodbury was the author of two engineering treatises: Sustaining Walls (1845; 2nd ed. , 1854), and Elements of Stability in the Well-Proportioned Arch (1858).
Woodbury was promoted major of engineers in August 1861, appointed lieutenant-colonel in the volunteer army in September, and on March 19, 1862, was commissioned brigadier-general of volunteers. In the Peninsular Campaign he commanded the engineer brigade of the Army of the Potomac, constructing the siege works before Yorktown and the immense system of roads and bridges necessary for the army's passage over the Chickahominy River and through the White Oak Swamp. He was in the defenses of Washington through the autumn of 1862, returning to the field before the battle of Fredericksburg, where he was responsible for the throwing of the pontoon bridges over the Rappahannock by which the army crossed to the attack and retreated after the battle. In March 1863 he was assigned to command the district including Tortugas and Key West. He died at the latter place of yellow fever on August 15, 1864.
Daniel Phineas Woodbury was an influential soldier and engineer, who was involved in several battles during the American Civil War and whose service consisted of working on the construction of numerous roadways and military fortifications, both on the eastern United States seaboard and on the western frontier, the most notable being Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, Florida. In addition, he was posthumously brevetted Major General, US Volunteers for "gallant and meritorious services during the war", and Brigadier General, US Regular Army for "gallant and meritorious services during the Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia". One of the many forts that surrounded Washington, D. C. was named Fort Woodbury after his death.
