Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Construction of the Britannia and Conway Tubular Bridges: With a Complete History of Their Progress, From the Conception of the Original Idea, to the Conclusion of the Elaborate Experiments Which Determined the Exact Form and Mode of Construction Ultimately Adopted I have approached this portion of the work with that hesita tion which a just difiidence in my own powers could not fail to inspire; but the extent of the correspondence, taken in con nection with the experimantal researches which follow, will, it is hoped, speak for the industry and closeness of application with which the subject has been pursued; and also, for the active and unflinching exertions which have characterized my official connection with the undertaking.

Excerpt: ... from that point to the end of the tube, the bottom has undergone no change, but continued with the original plates of 8-8 inches area. It is to be regretted that one of them had not extended a few feet further, as it would have equalized the bottom, and considerably increased the bearing powers of the tube; had this been done, instead of breaking with 69 tons, it is more than probable that 80 tons would have been the nearest approach to its maximum strength. But be this as it may, I should consider myself safe, in estimating the breaking weight of a well-proportioned tube of this description at 75 tons; and taking into consideration the same strain already sustained at this point of the tube, and its tortured condition in other respects, I am clearly of opinion that 75 tons is rather within than beyond its bearing powers. Assuming however 75 tons to be the ultimate strength, we should then have for the Britannia tube (as the cubes and squares of the strengths and weights respectively), a tube weighing 1200 tons, and carrying 2570 tons in the middle, inclusive of its own weight. substituting in equation (1.), we find WW.W (3.)--W to2' which is the formula enunciated in the letter. Let w=6, W = 75, and to, = 1200, then we have by equation (3.), W, = 119 j x 75=2570 tons nearly. Adopting the notation of the formulae given in page 104, equation (3.) becomes L.+ttg)1. (L+to), Another expression for the breaking load is given in equation (8.), p. 105. In the experiment of Wednesday last, there is sufficient evidence to show, that the weakest portion of the tube was at the point where the new plates terminated. and that the cause of fracture did not arise from the weakness of the sides or want of rigidity in the cellular top, but from defective...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the evolution of theory of structures and strength of materials - the development of the geometrical thinking of the Renaissance to become the fundamental engineering science discipline rooted in classical mechanics. Starting with the strength experiments of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo, the author examines the emergence of individual structural analysis methods and their formation into theory of structures in the 19th century. For the first time, a book of this kind outlines the development from classical theory of structures to the structural mechanics and computational mechanics of the 20th century. In doing so, the author has managed to bring alive the differences between the players with respect to their engineering and scientific profiles and personalities, and to create an understanding for the social context. Brief insights into common methods of analysis, backed up by historical details, help the reader gain an understanding of the history of structural mechanics from the standpoint of modern engineering practice. A total of 175 brief biographies of important personalities in civil and structural engineering as well as structural mechanics plus an extensive bibliography round off this work.

Book excerpt: Physical models have been, and continue to be used by engineers when faced with unprecedented challenges, when engineering science has been non-existent or inadequate, and in any other situation when the engineer has needed to raise their confidence in a design proposal to a sufficient level to begin construction. For this reason, models have mostly been used by designers and constructors of highly innovative projects, when previous experience has not been available. The book covers the history of using of physical models in the design and development of civil and building engineering projects including bridges in the mid-18th century, William Fairbairn?s Britannia bridge in the 1840s, the masonry Aswan Dam in the 1890s, concrete dams in the 1920s, thin concrete shell roofs and the dynamic behaviour of tall buildings in earthquakes from the 1930s, tidal flow in estuaries and the acoustics of concert halls from the 1950s, and cable-net and membrane structures in the 1960s. Traditionally, progress in engineering has been attributed to the creation and use of engineering science, the understanding materials properties and the development of new construction methods. The book argues that the use of reduced scale models have played an equally important part in the development of civil and building engineering. However, like the history of engineering design itself, this crucial contribution has not been widely reported or celebrated. The book concludes with reviews of the current use of physical models alongside computer models, for example, in boundary layer wind tunnels, room acoustics, seismic engineering, hydrology, and air flow in buildings.
