Excerpt from Types and Details of Bridge Construction, Vol. 3: Part III. Specifications and Standards for Short Railroad Spans
The great increase in traffic and train loads has necessitated the reconstruction within the last few years of a large propor tion of short-span bridges on the leading railroads in this coun try, and the abolition of grade crossings in most large cities and towns has greatly increased the number of new structures required.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of steel bridge specifications and standards used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It provides a unique window into the development of bridge engineering during a period of rapid innovation and growth. While each specification is unique to the railroad or bridge company that issued it, taken together they form a comprehensive picture of the state of the art in steel bridge design and construction during this era. The book presents a range of approaches to common engineering challenges, including proportioning, materials, loads, and stresses. It also includes discussions of topics such as impact, wind pressure, and centrifugal force, which were becoming increasingly important as trains became faster and heavier. The author's goal is to provide a reference work that will be of value to engineers, historians, and anyone interested in the development of steel bridge engineering. The book's thorough research and detailed analysis make it an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand the history and evolution of bridge design.
