Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridges The Essential Requirements of a Movable Bridge Are 1. The bridge must be absolutely safe for all traffic cross ing it and for traffic using the navigable channel. 2. The bridge must cause the least possible delay to the traffic crossing it and to the traffic using the navigable channel. 3. The bridge should provide the widest possible navi gable channel at a minimum cost. 4. Economy of first cost of the bridge, economy of opera tion and economy of maintenance. 5. Economy of space required for the site and operation of the bridge. 6. The bridge must not encroach on the adjacent dock space. 7. The bridge should provide one ample, unobstructed navigable channel in the middle of the waterway. 8. The main structural moving parts of the bridge should be few and simple. 9. The bridge should move with the least possible fric tion because of its comparatively great weight. Io. The operating machinery, locks and equipment of the bridge should be few and simple. II. The bridge should be very rapid in operation. 12. When open, the bridge should form a barrier closing the highway. 13. The bridge should be as rigid as a fixed bridge, under the heaviest moving loads for both highway and railway traffic. I4. The bridge should have pleasing and artistic outlines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chicago River divides America's Second City into the North and South Sides, and the bridges that span it are famous for their number and beauty. With the first constructed in 1832, it was only twelve years later that a moveable bridge appeared, and today Chicago is home to some sixty bridges in all, making it one of the most bridge-rich cities in the world. These bridges even today offer fascinating glimpses into Chicago's development from rough-and-tumble trading outpost to world-class city known for its architecture and culture, and this book traces the evolution of them all, from the original rising bascules to the splendidly designed twentieth-century structures that lend Chicago much of the grandeur for which it is known world-wide.

Download or read book Chicago River Bridges written by Patrick T. McBriarty and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chicago River Bridgespresents the untold history and development of Chicago's iconic bridges, from the first wood footbridge built by a tavern owner in 1832 to the fantastic marvels of steel, concrete, and machinery of today. It is the story of Chicago as seen through its bridges, for it has been the bridges that proved critical in connecting and reconnecting the people, industry, and neighborhoods of a city that is constantly remaking itself. In this book, author Patrick T. McBriarty shows how generations of Chicagoans built (and rebuilt) the thriving city trisected by the Chicago River and linked by its many crossings. This comprehensive guidebook chronicles more than 175 bridges spanning 55 locations along the Main Channel, South Branch, and North Branch of the Chicago River. With new full-color photography of existing bridges and more than one hundred black and white images of bridges past, the book unearths the rich history of Chicago's downtown bridges from the Michigan Avenue Bridge to the often forgotten bridges that once connected thoroughfares such as Rush, Erie, Taylor, and Polk Streets. Throughout, McBriarty delivers new research into the bridges' architectural designs, engineering innovations, and their impact on Chicagoans' daily lives, explaining how the dominance of the "Chicago-style" bascule drawbridge influenced the style and mechanics of bridges worldwide. Interspersed throughout are the human dramas that played out on and around the bridges, such as the floods of 1849 and 1992, the cattle crossing collapse of the Rush Street Bridge, or Vincent "The Schemer" Drucci's Michigan Avenue Bridge jump. A confluence of Chicago history, urban design, and engineering lore, Chicago River Bridges illustrates Chicago's significant contribution to drawbridge innovation and the city's emergence as the drawbridge capital of the world.
