Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of the design and construction of the first iron suspension bridge in the world, built in Geneva, Switzerland in 1823. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the early development of suspension bridge engineering and the innovative spirit of the time. The author, Lieutenant Colonel Guillaume Henri Dufour, a distinguished military engineer and scientist, provides a comprehensive description of the bridge's construction, from the initial experiments on the strength of iron wires to the final assembly and testing of the bridge itself. The book delves into the technical challenges faced by Dufour and his team, including the development of new methods for suspending and anchoring the iron cables, and the use of innovative materials such as wrought iron and cast iron. It also explores the broader context of the bridge's construction, discussing the political and economic factors that led to its development and the impact it had on the city of Geneva and beyond. Through its detailed descriptions, insightful analysis, and historical context, this book offers a valuable resource for engineers, historians, and anyone interested in the early development of suspension bridge engineering and its role in shaping modern infrastructure.
