Excerpt from Letter From the Secretary of War: In Response to Senate Resolution of December 10, 1894, Transmitting the Report of the Board of Engineers and Bridge-Building Experts, With Other Information, Relative to the Subject of a Bridge Across the Hudson River at New York City
Because Of the great Size of these cross girders and lower chords, and therefore the great excess of strength in this lower truss when the bridge is unloaded, the Board regard the pounds per linear foot of wind pressure on the loaded bridge as the one which throws the greatest strain upon its members, and therefore take this value as the one to be used in combination with the other loads upon a bridge of maximum length.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book assesses the practicability of the Hudson River Bridge's suspension design, which would incorporate new engineering concepts and techniques. The author, a civil engineer, draws on a wealth of knowledge and expertise to craft a detailed analysis, examining various aspects of the design including strength of materials, weight of cables, wind pressure, and oscillations. By evaluating these factors, the author concludes that both a 2,000-foot pier bridge and a 3,100-foot suspension bridge without a center pier are safe and practical options. This book's findings are significant as they demonstrate the potential feasibility of long-span suspension bridges, which could greatly impact the construction of future bridges and the accessibility of major waterways.
