This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pneumatic Tower Foundations of the East River Suspension Bridge The following pages comprise chiefly the annual reports on the progress of the East River Suspension Bridge, from 1869 to 1872. Having heretofore appeared in newspaper form only, they are now presented as a connected narrative, giving a detailed account of the work from its inception to the present time, when the foundations are finished and the towers have already reached more than half their intended height. They present, a history of the successful completion of the two largest pneumatic foundations extant, as regards area of base, although surpassed in depth by those of St. Louis. Being the first application of timber caissons on a large scale, it may be of interest to state, that, at the time of writing, with already more than two-thirds of the ultimate pressure on the base of the Brooklyn tower, the total settlement has only been five-eighths of an inch, and of an uniform character all around. An introductory chapter is added, giving an outline of the general plan of the structure, its principal dimensions and location, as originally designed by the late John A. Roebling, and described by him in his preliminary report of 1867; together with the few modifications made since then.

Download or read book Report of the Chief Engineer of the New York & Brooklyn Bridge written by Washington Roebling and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hero of the Battle of Gettysburg and a veteran of many other American Civil War battles, Washington Roebling assumed the duties of Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge only a few short years after the war ended. This report was written by Roebling and his staff six years before the completion of the famous bridge. It contains fascinating details about the construction methods, material selection, and materials testing that are easily understood by any lay person. Roebling suffered a debilitating injury from decompression sickness due to time spent deep in the bridge's caissons. His wife Emily was essential in helping him finish the project while viewing it from his apartment windows. She was a critical link between her husband and his engineers on the construction site, as well as helping him write reports. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Download or read book Building the Brooklyn Bridge, 1869-1883: An Illustrated History, with Images in 3D written by Jeffrey I. Richman and published by Bauer and Dean Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building the Brooklyn Bridge reminds us of the historic importance of this iconic bridge that was once considered the eighth wonder of the world. It opened up development across the East River and made travel between the two independent cities of Brooklyn and New York quicker and more reliable; especially once the bridge railway was fully operational in September 1883, four months after the bridge's opening. Historian Jeffrey Richman describes in engaging detail how the Brooklyn Bridge was built over fourteen years and clearly explains the function of each of its parts, from the anchorages to the massive cables. The story of the construction is also told through 255 remarkable images, many never before published, including 44 images in 3D, specially created for this book. These historic photographs, woodcuts, color lithographs, and engineering drawings take us back in time to when all of America, and much of the world, watched with excitement as a singular bridge of unprecedented size and technology was built over one of the busiest waterways in the world. The book illuminates long-forgotten details and presents the bridge as the engineering marvel that it is-one that still elicits awe and admiration. This is an incredible journey back in time to when all of America-and much of the world-excitedly watched as the Brooklyn Bridge was being built. Reading the book will be a real treat to anyone who has ever stepped onto this beloved icon and been moved by its majesty. A pair of 3D glasses is included with every copy of the book.

Book excerpt: First published in 1972, The Great Bridge is the classic account of one of the greatest engineering feats of all time. Winning acclaim for its comprehensive look at the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, this book helped cement David McCullough's reputation as America's preeminent social historian. Now, The Great Bridge is reissued as a Simon & Schuster Classic Edition with a new introduction by the author. This monumental book brings back for American readers the heroic vision of the America we once had. It is the enthralling story of one of the greatest events in our nation's history during the Age of Optimism -- a period when Americans were convinced in their hearts that all great things were possible. In the years around 1870, when the project was first undertaken, the concept of building a great bridge to span the East River between the great cities of Manhattan and Brooklyn required a vision and determination comparable to that which went into the building of the pyramids. Throughout the fourteen years of its construction, the odds against the successful completion of the bridge seemed staggering. Bodies were crushed and broken, lives lost, political empires fell, and surges of public emotion constantly threatened the project. But this is not merely the saga of an engineering miracle: it is a sweeping narrative of the social climate of the time and of the heroes and rascals who had a hand in either constructing or obstructing the great enterprise. Amid the flood of praise for the book when it was originally published, Newsday said succinctly "This is the definitive book on the event. Do not wait for a better try: there won't be any."
