Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the vital issue of protecting and waterproofing solid floor bridges, a crucial concern for railway engineers in the early 20th century. The author, a leading engineer of his time, examines the challenges of achieving watertightness and preserving the steelwork in these bridges, a significant concern due to the rising prominence of track elevation in urban areas. The book explores a variety of methods for waterproofing, including asphalt mastic, concrete filling, and various types of felt coatings, with detailed analysis of their effectiveness and drawbacks. The author meticulously documents the specific applications of these techniques on several bridges in Chicago, including Brighton Park, Englewood, and Fifty-First Street, offering a valuable glimpse into the practical considerations and challenges faced by railway engineers during this period. Through his detailed analysis of different materials and construction techniques, the author illuminates the complex and evolving nature of bridge construction, providing a valuable historical record of the field's progress. The book's insights offer valuable lessons for anyone interested in the history of civil engineering and the development of modern infrastructure.
