DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Bridge-Construction: Being a d104-Book on the Design and Construction of Bridges in Iron and Steel, for the Use of Students, Draughtsmen, and Engineers Within the last few years, the art of bridge-construction has undergone many important changes. Engineers have been called upon to construct bridges of unprecedented magnitude, whose design and execution have presented a number of new problems, or have invested old ones with an importance which they did not before possess. At the same time, new points of interest have arisen in connection with the introduction of steel, the adoption of new forms of construction, and the employment of new methods of research; while the constant accumulation of experimental facts has, in the meantime, added largely to our stock of practical knowledge in regard to such subjects as the strength of materials and the effects of wind-pressure. The object of this book is to describe the modem practice of Bridge-construction, and to set forth in the simplest language the mechanical principles and experimental facts on which it is based. The design and arrangement of the work have been dictated by a desire to render it as useful as possible, not only to engineers or draughtsmen who may be engaged in the work of bridge-calculations and bridge-construction, but also to students. With this object, the earlier chapters of the work are devoted to a simple demonstration of those mechanical principles which must of necessity form the beginning of any study of the subject; and which are more fully developed and applied in later portions of the book.
