Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bridges a Study in Their Art, Science and Evolution The purpose of this book is threefold. First: to give a method for the application of funda mental architectural principles to the design and criticism of bridges; to point out that the modern bridge should not, as is sometimes stated, be exempted from the same rules of art that apply to other architectural works; and to make a plea for thorough architectural train ing of the Civil Engineer that his tremendously important works may be as inspiringly beau tiful as they are economically sound. Second: to present the historical background of the Modern Bridge, showing how bridge building developed from the earliest time to the present day; how it has been inﬂuenced by social, political, and economic conditions; and picturing the most beautiful and interesting bridges of each period. Third: to present a selection of photographs of artistic bridges of all types; which it is hoped will not only interest the layman but will furnish valuable inspiration to engineers and architects who are engaged in designing bridges. Not all of the designs pictured are to be considered as perfect, but they all have enough artistic merit to make their study worth while, and they show how their designers have solved the special problems involved.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Bridge Engineering History is very fully taught in Schools of Architecture, but up to the present, very little time or thought has been given in the Engineering Schools to the History of Engineering, which is cer tainly quite as worthy of attention. The absence of such courses is generally ascribed to insufficient time and the dearth of litera ture. A need for this book is therefore evident, especially as there is at present no other on the subject in the English language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroad Bridges The existing and the accepted types of bridges in use to-day on American railroads being the results of a true evolution, no attempt to present them intelligently would be complete without a brief sketch of the past history of bridge; in America. The rapid development of the new world and the enormous number of bridges that has been built within the limits of the nineteenth century, have furnished us with a wide experience, from which we have been able to select the good and reject much that was bad or undesirable. The pioneer life, not only of the earlier settlers, but of each genera tion to the present day, has developed to a high degree the energies, ingenuity and self-reliance of the American people. These pioneers were compelled to be men of all trades. Their limited resources and the lack of time or opportunity to seek for past precedents, impelled them to solve each problem anew. They, thought with vigor and were not fettered with the trammels of science, before they were capable of ex erting their mental faculties to advantage, as Sir Joseph Banks wrote to Thomas Paine in 1788.[from transactions or american society or CIVIL engineers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suspension Bridges, Arch Ribs and Cantilevers The assumption in the method of deﬂections that all moving load is uniformly distributed over the span in determining the expression for the work involved through vertical deﬂection, as a general procedure, is certain open to serious criticism, as will be indicated. A full consideration, therefore, of all the features of the two methods justifies the use of the Method of Least Werk, especially with the adjusted centre sag, as being at least equally accurate with the method of deﬂections, while its equations are certainly simpler and more easily workable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Design of Structures: A Practical Treatise on the Building of Bridges, Roofs, &C IN undertaking this work, my principal object has been to supply the want, long and universally felt among Students of Engineering and Architecture, of a concise Text-book on Structures, requiring on the part of the reader a knowledge of elementary mathematics only. In order to obtain complete information on the subject it has been necessary, hitherto, to consult a large number of books, and these, moreover, have been generally too advanced for the average student. The present work is an attempt to remove, or at least to minimise, these disadvantages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In New York’s Golden Age of Bridges, artist Antonio Masi teams up with writer and New York City historian Joan Marans Dim to offer a multidimensional exploration of New York City’s nine major bridges, their artistic and cultural underpinnings, and their impact worldwide. The tale of New York City’s bridges begins in 1883, when the Brooklyn Bridge rose majestically over the East River, signaling the start of America’s “Golden Age” of bridge building. The Williamsburg followed in 1903, the Queensboro (renamed the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge) and the Manhattan in 1909, the George Washington in 1931, the Triborough (renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge) in 1936, the Bronx-Whitestone in 1939, the Throgs Neck in 1961, and the Verrazano-Narrows in 1964. Each of these classic bridges has its own story, and the book’s paintings show the majesty and artistry, while the essays fill in the fascinating details of its social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental history. America’s great bridges, built almost entirely by immigrant engineers, architects, and laborers, have come to symbolize not only labor and ingenuity but also bravery and sacrifice. The building of each bridge took a human toll. The Brooklyn Bridge’s designer and chief engineer, John A. Roebling, himself died in the service of bridge building. But beyond those stories is another narrative—one that encompasses the dreams and ambitions of a city, and eventually a nation. At this moment in Asia and Europe many modern, largescale, long-span suspension bridges are being built. They are the progeny of New York City’s Golden Age bridges. This book comes along at the perfect moment to place these great public projects into their historical and artistic contexts and to inform and delight artists, engineers, historians, architects, and city planners. In addition to the historical and artistic perspectives, New York’s Golden Age of Bridges explores the inestimable connections that bridges foster, and reveals the extraordinary impact of the nine Golden Age bridges on the city, the nation, and the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory, Practice, and Architecture of Bridges of Stone, Iron, Timber, and Wire, Vol. 1: With Examples on the Principle of Suspension In the Philosophical Transactions for the year 1697, it appears that David Gregory first noticed this identity, but his mode of argument, though sufficiently rigorous, appears not to be so perspicuous as could be desired. In one of the posthumous works of James Bernoulli two direct solutions of this problem are given, founded on the different modes of viewing the action of the voussoirs: the first is clear, simple, and precise, and easily leads to the equation of the curve, which he shows to be the catenary inverted; the second requires a little correction, which C ramer, the editor of his works has pointed out.

Many amiable people have gradually formed the idea that this enterprise was a gift in benevolent preparation for posterity, and often inquire, with Sir Boyle Roche, what posterity has done for us. There are even some who have looked upon the grim towers as useless monuments of an im practicable scherrie. But through so many years of waiting, the work has crept slowly on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book on Roofs and Bridges: Bridge Design The present edition has been entirely rewritten in order to bring the subject fully up to date, for the changes in bridge design during the past eight years have been remarkable. The rapid increase in live loads on the principal railroads in this country has necessitated an unusually large amount of new construction to replace the old bridges, which were designed for much lighter traffic. The extensive scale on which this work had to be done led to a general revision of specifications and to careful attention to the design of details so as to secure greater stiffness as well as strength in the new structures. These changes include the introduction of some new forms of details; the elimination, as far as practicable, of adjustable members; the entire superseding of wrought iron by steel; the substitution Of riveted trusses for pin-connected trusses in the shorter spans; and increased care in designing the joints so as to reduce the secondary stresses to a minimum. In the descriptions Of the details of plate-girder and truss bridges, introduced in Chapters VI, VIII, and XI, only those are given which may be properly claimed as standard in the best recent practice. Special attention is called to the new feature of carefully selected references to engineering periodi cals where more extended descriptions and applications of various details may be found.
