Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Wooden Trestle Bridges, and Their Concrete Substitutes: According to the Present Practice on American Railroads IN revising this work it is believed that it has been brought down to the present time. While at first glance it might seem as though the wooden trestle bridge was losing its importance in railroad work, it and its substitutes have in reality been growing in impor tance. Wooden trestles may be gradually disappearing from main lines of heavy traffic, but the increased growth of branch lines or feeders and of trestles at manufacturing plants and for electric railways have probably more than kept pace with its abandonment on main lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Wooden Trestle Bridges: According to the Present Practice on American Railroads The favor with which this work was received encouraged the author to make a thorough revision upon the exhaustion of the first edition. Much new matter has been added and an endeavor made to embrace any new ideas, improvements, or knowledge derived since its first appearance, in fact to make it exhaustive as to the present knowledge and practice of trestle building. Among the more important additions of new matter are the following: To Chap. II much has been added as to the life of piles on different roads; many examples quoted of particular cases of the bearing power of piles; effects of shoeing and overdriving piles; formulas for the bearing power of piles and rules to be observed in pile driving; and additional records of cost and rate of pile-driving. To Chap. III have been added plans and a description of a water-jet pile-driver and data relating to the use of this method. To Chap. V been added a section on rail-spiking, giving a method of preventing the creeping of rails on bridges. To Chap. VI much has been added on the subject of trestles on curves and methods of elevating the outer rail. Chap. XII, treating of some of the timbers suitable for bridge building, is entirely new. Chap. XII, on the Theoretical Considerations of Design, is also new and was kindly contributed by Mr. W. W. Crehore, Assoc. M. Am. Soc. C. E. In this chapter will be found some very useful tables on dimensions of stringers and safe loads on posts, as well as a table giving the sizes of steel I beams equivalent under the same conditions to different sizes of wooden stringers. In Part II, under the head of Standard Trestle Plans, Plates XXXIX to XLV are new. Attention is particularly called to the Two Medicine Bridge and the Mountain Creek Bridge, two very high structures. In the descriptive matter of the latter the details of cost are given. Plate XLV gives the plans of a light trestle built on a very sharp curve and a very steep hillside.
