Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously details the creation of a suspension bridge over the Potomac River designed by the renowned engineer, Charles Ellet Jr. While suspension bridges had been built before for foot and carriage traffic, Ellet's was ambitious in that it also needed to support the weight of locomotives and rail traffic. The author carefully lays out the complex structural and engineering challenges the project posed, its innovative design features, and the intense opposition the plan faced due to unfounded fears about its stability and safety. Ultimately, the author argues that Ellet's bridge was a groundbreaking feat of engineering and that his insights regarding the strength and stability of suspension bridges transformed their usage, paving the way for their widespread adoption in rail and vehicle transportation.
