Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the culmination of over forty years of exploration into the economic questions inherent in bridge engineering. Drawing on his decades of experience, the author, who in 1918 became one of the select few to be admitted into the Academie des Sciences, presents in this volume a comprehensive and detailed investigation into the optimal allocation of resources when designing and constructing bridges. Economics, the author argues, is the cornerstone of good bridge design, and this book provides all the tools necessary for engineers to make the correct choices when determining the parameters of a bridge project, including a discussion of the types of potential structures that can be employed depending on a particular bridge's function, location, and cost. Nevertheless, the work's usefulness is not limited to matters of finance; it also contains a substantial amount of practical advice on technical questions, such as floor systems, truss design, painting, and water-proofing. The author's investigations into questions of bridge economics, which are documented in exhaustive detail in the text, have had a profound impact on the design of modern bridges, and this book stands as a testament to the centrality of the concept to the field as a whole. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
