Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of railway structures in the early to mid-19th century with an emphasis on the structural weaknesses in the railways of the time. The author provides a thorough description of the various methods used in railway construction up to that time and identifies seve…ral fatal flaws in these designs, including a tendency for the ground underneath the rails to compress under the weight of passing trains. The author's proposed solutions involve major changes to the way rails were laid and secured, including the use of longitudinal beams to support the rails instead of isolated blocks of stone or wood. By analyzing the tensile strain produced by the contraction of iron rails and other factors that contribute to wear and tear, the author makes the case that the railways of the time, such as the Great Western Railway and the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, could be greatly improved through the implementation of his proposed changes to railway structure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
