Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal truss bridges are uniquely indigenous products of American engineering and construction technology, and in recent years their historic significance has been increasingly recognized along with that of other early engineering structures. Some trusses that warrant inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places require renovation or replacement to meet modern traffic demands. Conflicting requirements of federal preservation and highway safety legislation demand that standards be developed to permit, early in the replacement planning process, objective identification of those trusses that warrant retention because of historic significance. Based upon a statewide survey of metal truss bridges in Virginia, an objective numerical rating system for historic significance has been developed that considers characteristics in three categories: documentation (age and builder), technology, and environmental factors. This system was applied to 58 bridges selected from approximately 500 surveyed statewide. Based upon this study the following conclusions appear warranted. 1. While historic significance is in some measure subjective (no more so than the sufficiency rating), an objective numerical rating system provides a useful tool for identifying bridges of special significance and guiding decisions on preservation or adaptive use. 2. Information in three broad categories - documentation, technological significance, and environmental factors provides necessary characteristics for establishing significance. 3. While developed from data on metal trusses in Virginia, the system is generally applicable to other types of bridges in other areas. 4. While few metal truss bridges of national significance survive in Virginia, there are several examples worthy of preservation and numerous examples reflecting the various technologies of nineteenth century bridge design and construction. 5. Virginia still possesses a sufficient diversity of truss types, materials, and geographical, distribution to serve as a valuable resource for appreciation by lay persons and study by specialists.

Book Synopsis Buildings and Structures of American Railroads by : Walter G. Berg
Download or read book Buildings and Structures of American Railroads written by Walter G. Berg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buildings and Structures of American Railroads: A Reference Book for Railroad Managers, Superintendents, Master Mechanics, Engineers, Architects, and Students It is hardly necessary to call attention to the scarcity of American literature on build ings and similar structures connected with the station service, maintenance of way and operating departments of railroads. With the exception of isolated articles to be found in technical periodicals or in the publications of professional societies, accurate and exhaustive data relating to existing railroad structures can only be obtained by personal inspection or by addressing the proper department official in charge of the work in question. The purpose of this book is to obviate to a large extent the necessity of railroad men and others in search of such information having to resort to tedious investigations and personal inquiries. Attention is also called to the fact that most of the subjects embraced in this book have never before been discussed in print in a systematic and thorough manner. The aim of the author has been to present a collection embodying the best practice for each particular class of structure, whether cheap or expensive, and showing the sundry varia tions caused by individual views or local conditions in different sections of the country. Particular attention has been paid to the smaller buildings connected with the roadway and operating departments. The cheap and simple structures in use in the thinly settled sections of the country have been considered of as much importance as those of the most elaborate and artistic design.

Download or read book Route 66 Crossings written by Jim Ross and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Route 66 is a beloved and much studied symbol of twentieth-century America. But until now, no book has focused on the bridges that spanned the rivers, creeks, arroyos, and railroads between Chicago and Santa Monica. In this handsome volume, Route 66 authority and veteran writer and photographer Jim Ross examines the origins and history of the bridges of America’s most famous highway, structures designed to overcome obstacles to travel, many of them engineered with architectural aesthetics now lost to time. Featuring hundreds of Ross's own photographs, Route 66 Crossings showcases bridges ranging in design from timber to steel and concrete, and provides schematics, maps, and global coordinates to help readers identify and locate them. Ross’s comprehensive accounting of structures along the Mother Road’s various alignments includes bridges still in use, those that have vanished or have been abandoned, and the few consciously preserved as monuments. He also recognizes ancillary structures that enhanced safety and helped facilitate traffic, such as railway grade separations, tunnels, and pedestrian underpasses. Ross seeks to encourage ongoing preservation of the structures that remain. In brilliant color and precise detail, Route 66 Crossings expands our knowledge of the bridges that linked America’s first all-weather national highway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least 10% of the 24 billion dollars, 6-year authorization in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) that created the surface transportation program was required to be set aside exclusively for 10 categories of "transportation enhancements", or projects designed to strengthen the cultural, aesthetic, or environmental aspects of transportation or to encourage greater use of nonmotorized transportation. In examining this set-aside, the General Accounting Office (GAO) addressed the following questions: (1) How do the obligation rates for transportation enhancement funds for fiscal years 1992-95 compare with the obligation rates for other major highway programs? (2) How do the obligation rates for transportation enhancement funds vary by state, and what factors have affected the states' use of these funds? (3) What types of projects are being funded with transportation enhancement funds? and (4) What are stakeholders' views on reauthorizing the transportation enhancement set-aside?

Book Synopsis Methods of Modifying Historic Bridges for Contemporary Use by : William Zuk
Download or read book Methods of Modifying Historic Bridges for Contemporary Use written by William Zuk and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studied by a team of experts in the fields of history, bridge engineering, architecture, and computer analysis were 21 old truss bridges of historical importance located in Virginia. These old bridges are narrow and have low load-carrying capacities, making them targets for replacement and destruction. On a case-by-case basis, the bridges were investigated as to their potentials for strengthening and widening for normal vehicular use. Also explored were non-vehicular uses as for conversion into craft centers, museums, restaurants, housing, bicycle structures, and the like, at either the present site or a new one. The wide array of possibilities for continued use of the old bridges described in this report show that old bridges do indeed have much useful life left in them and it is not always necessary that they be demolished.
