Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of plate-girder construction, a crucial element in the development of railway bridges. Written during a period when the subject was still relatively unexplored, the book provides a clear and practical guide to the design and construction of these intricate structures. The text explores the different types of loads that a plate girder must withstand, from the weight of the train to the impact of moving loads and the forces of wind and centrifugal force. The book then examines the stresses that these loads create within the girder, exploring the complex interactions between bending moments, shearing forces, and the material properties of the steel. The author meticulously outlines the key elements of plate-girder design, from the dimensioning of flanges and webs to the crucial role of rivets and bracing. The text also delves into the intricate details of splices, which allow for the construction of longer girders. This comprehensive work offers valuable insights into the scientific principles and practical considerations behind the design and construction of plate-girder bridges, providing a timeless resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this essential component of railway infrastructure.
