Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the adoption of iron and steel as alternatives to timber in the construction of bridges and other large-scale architectural structures. The author, highly influential in the engineering world, argues that the improved affordability of iron and steel makes a compelling case for their increased use in construction. Drawing on historical cases of iron bridge construction, the book underscores not only the technological but also economic benefits of iron and steel construction. By analysing both the performance of old iron bridges with that of contemporary ones, the book offers timely insight into the lasting value of iron and steel as building materials. A vital resource for historians, engineers, and architects, this book is a crucial contribution to understanding the technological advancements of the modern age and their impact on the built environment.
