Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Theory and Calculation of Continuous Bridges The following pages are divided into three chapters. The first presents by way of introduction some of the elementary principles of continuous girders, and the fundamental ideas relating to the calculation of strains. The second gives the theory of flexure as applied to the continuous truss of constant cross section, and exhibits it in formulae (I) to (VI), ready for application to any particular case; and the third gives an example of the computation of strains in a continuous truss of live unequal spans, with some useful hints concerning the practical building of such bridges. The theory of flexure indicates that, by the use of continuous instead of single span bridges, a saving in material of from twenty to forty per cent. may be effected. It is easy indeed to say that this advantage will be entirely swallowed up by the effect of changes of temperature, increased labor of erection, or additional cost of workmanship, but by no amount of reasoning can such disadvantages be estimated.
