History of Bridge Engineering (Classic Reprint) by Henry Grattan Tyrrell Pdf

Excerpt from History of Bridge Engineering History is very fully taught in Schools of Architecture, but up to the present, very little time or thought has been given in the Engineering Schools to the History of Engineering, which is cer tainly quite as worthy of attention. The absence of such courses is generally ascribed to insufficient time and the dearth of litera ture. A need for this book is therefore evident, especially as there is at present no other on the subject in the English language.

American Railroad Bridges (Classic Reprint) by Theodore Cooper Pdf

Excerpt from American Railroad Bridges The existing and the accepted types of bridges in use to-day on American railroads being the results of a true evolution, no attempt to present them intelligently would be complete without a brief sketch of the past history of bridge; in America. The rapid development of the new world and the enormous number of bridges that has been built within the limits of the nineteenth century, have furnished us with a wide experience, from which we have been able to select the good and reject much that was bad or undesirable. The pioneer life, not only of the earlier settlers, but of each genera tion to the present day, has developed to a high degree the energies, ingenuity and self-reliance of the American people. These pioneers were compelled to be men of all trades. Their limited resources and the lack of time or opportunity to seek for past precedents, impelled them to solve each problem anew. They, thought with vigor and were not fettered with the trammels of science, before they were capable of ex erting their mental faculties to advantage, as Sir Joseph Banks wrote to Thomas Paine in 1788.[from transactions or american society or CIVIL engineers.

The Design and Construction of Metallic Bridges (Classic Reprint) by William H. Burr Pdf

Excerpt from The Design and Construction of Metallic Bridges This book is based upon the ninth edition of The Stresses in Bridge and Roof Trusses, Arched Ribs, and Suspension Bridges, by one of the Authors of this volume. T hat work, however, has been so thoroughly rewritten and such a large amount of new matter has been introduced that a new title has been' adopted. It has been the intention of the Authors to prepare a comprehensive book covering all types of trusses used to a material extent in American bridge practice, or at least all trusses forming the basis of that practice.

The Quebec Bridge, an Engineering Triumph in the World's History by Canadian Government Railways Pdf

Excerpt from The Quebec Bridge, an Engineering Triumph in the World's History: The Connecting Link Between the Canadian Government Railways North and South of the St. Lawrence, Its History and Its Future The Board made very exhaustive studies of various possible designs, both suspension and cantilever. Tenders were called on cantilever de signs with invitation to submit alternative tenders on the bidders' own designs. One German, one English, and one American firm bid on the Board's designs, but the St. Lawrence Bridge Company bid only on their own alternative K-truss designs. And received the contract. The Government had invited both the Dominion and Canadian bridge companies to tender on the new Quebec bridge. But it was thought that if the Canadian bridge companies were to present a solid front In the bidding - in other words. To pool their organizations. Experience and facilities - that Canada would have a better chance of being success in] In the bidding. And the Canadian Bridge Com pany therefore joined with the Dominion Bridge Company as joint owners of the capital stock of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, and the only bids made by any Canadian firm were submitted In the name of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company.

The Quebec Bridge by George Herrick Duggan Pdf

Excerpt from The Quebec Bridge: Notes on the Work of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, in Preparing the Accepted Design for the Construction of the Superstructure There are however some engineering considerations in connection with the preliminary designs. And trial work leading up to the final design which, while beyond the scope of the paper. May be interesting to the members of the Society. Moreover. I feel that the Society should have some record of those who actively contributed to the success of the under taking because so many engineers have been employed upon the work, and it has been so unusual. And of such long duration, that a more state ment of those in charge of various Departments at the finish of the work would omit the names and responsibilities of some who should he recorded in the history of the undertaking.

Plate-Girder Railway Bridges (Classic Reprint) by Maurice Fitzmaurice Pdf

Excerpt from Plate-Girder Railway Bridges The great majority of bridges on a line of railway are short-span plate-girder bridges. This book is intended to help those young engineers who, joining an engineers office for the first time, find themselves engaged in this class of work. All complicated calculations have been avoided and the object in view has been to help the student or pupil to design a bridge of this kind efficiently, cheaply, simply, and in accordance with modern practice. The theoretical knowledge required is small, and an attempt has been made not to enlarge on this part of the subject more than absolutely necessary. Practical details with regard to construction and erection, together with particulars of market sizes of plates, &c., have been given as far as possible. A chapter has been given to specifications for steel and iron, and to some notes on the treatment of these metals in the manufacture of bridge work, accompanied by some remarks on the working stresses to be adopted in these materials.
