Synopsis

This book details an early 20th-century method of calculating the strains and stresses on steel railroad bridges and viaducts. The author's stated goal is for his work to enable engineers to ensure the safety and longevity of iron bridges through scientific and mathematical precision. Originally published in 1906, this edition is the tenth revision of the author's work, containing updated tables based on nearly three decades of real-world construction experience, and is divided into seven sections: General description; Loads; Proportions of parts; Details of constructions; Quality of material; Inspection; Painting; Erection; Final test; Export work. An incredibly detailed text that explains not only how but why to consider all the forces at work on large steel structures. Of particular interest to engineers and engineering students, historians and hobbyists of civil engineering, and anyone with a curious mind who wants to understand how some of our largest and most essential constructions were planned and built, from conception through stress-testing.
