Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed account of the considerations and challenges in building a bridge across the St. Lawrence River at Montreal, Canada. The author, an experienced engineer, provides a rich historical overview of the river's winter phenomena, which pose severe obstacles to bridge construction. The book thoroughly examines the conditions necessary for bridging the river without obstructing navigation or increasing the risk of ice jams and flooding. The author proposes a plan for a solid causeway approach on the shoals, leading to a central elevated arch spanning the navigable channel. This design aims to retain ice formations, expedite the freezing of the Laprairie Basin, and enhance the bridge's resilience against ice shoves. The book highlights the economic and safety benefits of this approach, contrasting it with alternative designs. It emphasizes the importance of balancing the bridge's structural integrity with its visual appeal and passenger experience, showcasing the innovative solutions adopted to achieve this delicate balance. Ultimately, this book provides invaluable insights into the complexities of engineering a monumental structure in a challenging natural environment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334686528_0
