Excerpt from Bridge and Structural DesignThis book has been developed from lectures given by the author during the past five years, under the auspices of the Dominion Bridge Co. His object has been to teach the elements of bridge and strue tural design in a Simple and practical manner. Arts. I to 14 inclusive treat of the general principles of design, and are illustrated by numerous examples, while the remaining articles are examples of typical structures, in which the stresses are analyzed, the members proportioned, and the detail carefully worked out.Both analytical and graphical methods have been employed for obtaining stresses, and the one which seemed best suited for any particular subject has been adopted. But few are given, as it was thought unnecessary to repeat information given in any of the rolling mills' hand-books.Although the hook is intended principally for students and draughts men, there are parts which may be of interest to practicing bridge designers. Particular attention is here drawn to Art. I7, which treats of the design of a knee-braced mill building, and to Art. 19, which discusses the rivet spacing and web splices in plate girders, in which one-eighth of the web plate is counted on as ¿ange area.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
