Book excerpt: 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. In con formity With this plan, the most advanced methods of stress computations, as well as those that are older, have been employed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book on Roofs and Bridges: Bridge Design The present edition has been entirely rewritten in order to bring the subject fully up to date, for the changes in bridge design during the past eight years have been remarkable. The rapid increase in live loads on the principal railroads in this country has necessitated an unusually large amount of new construction to replace the old bridges, which were designed for much lighter traffic. The extensive scale on which this work had to be done led to a general revision of specifications and to careful attention to the design of details so as to secure greater stiffness as well as strength in the new structures. These changes include the introduction of some new forms of details; the elimination, as far as practicable, of adjustable members; the entire superseding of wrought iron by steel; the substitution Of riveted trusses for pin-connected trusses in the shorter spans; and increased care in designing the joints so as to reduce the secondary stresses to a minimum. In the descriptions Of the details of plate-girder and truss bridges, introduced in Chapters VI, VIII, and XI, only those are given which may be properly claimed as standard in the best recent practice. Special attention is called to the new feature of carefully selected references to engineering periodi cals where more extended descriptions and applications of various details may be found.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Detailed Design of a Railroad Bridge The stresses in the structure are caused by its own or dead weight and by the live or moving load. The dead load may be divided into two parts, the weight of the floor system consisting of rails, ties, track fastenings, stringers and floor beams, and the trusses and bracing. Excerpts from Cooper's specifications relating to these loadings are the following. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Artistic Bridge Design: A Systematic Treatise on the Design of Modern Bridges According to Aesthetic Principles A lack of artistic treatment is the greatest fault of American bridges. These structures are worthy of greater thought and study because they are usually such conspicuous objects in the landscape. The lack of art is no doubt partly due to the dearth of literature on the subject and the difficulty in securing good illustrations, and it is hoped that this book will assist in producing better results. The most important work in connection with any great building enterprise is the preparation of the design, for on this the success or failure of the project depends. If the design is faulty, the money, time and thought spent on its construction are largely wasted, and all the labor of engineers, contractors and artisans is lost. If the design is lacking in beauty, the strue ture may remain for centuries as a mockery to its originators, unless fortunately it should collapse through structural weak ness and give place to another one, more worthy.

Download or read book Structural Design Elements of Structural Design Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Horace R. Thayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Structural Design Elements of Structural Design, Vol. 1 IT might be well to say here what is repeated in the text that this work presupposes a knowledge of mechanics, stresses, and the mathematics on which they depend. The experience of the author in teaching and in practice has led him to believe that no available book presents all structural subjects so concisely that they can be covered in the time usually allotted by technical schools. Moreover, the fundamental principles of shop practice and erection, which govern the designer at every step, are not clearly developed. These faults the author has attempted to correct, using only orthodox methods of presentation. This volume considers wooden structures and the fundamental principles of design in steel. Should this work receive recognition, it is intended to follow it by a second volume on the Design of Simple Structures, plate girders, viaducts, truss bridges, mill buildings, high office buildings, and standpipes, and a third on the Design of Advanced Structures, cantilever, movable, and suspension bridges and arches. It has been thought best for the present to omit the data usually found in handbooks. As a considerable portion of this treatise is original data, corrections and suggestions will be especially welcome. How ever, a great deal of pains has been taken to eliminate errors.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Design of Simple Steel Bridges IN writing this book my idea has been to revise and rearrange my former book, entitled Manual of Bridge Design, which has been used for some considerable time as a text-book on this subject by the Royal Engineers at the School of Military Engineering, Chatham. I have endeavoured to depart from the generality of text books, and to keep ever before the student the practical aim or object for which he is striving. I have also tried always to illustrate theoretical deductions and conclusions with examples from actual practice. The book is full of practical examples and illustrations, and contains many details of all sorts connected with bridge work. I have confined this work to simple bridges. On all hands text-books by celebrated men abound which investigate most thoroughly every conceivable kind of structure or girder, books which go into deep mathematics, and which at their conclusion do not venture to advise any particular course of action under any set circumstances, but leave the engineer to decide for himself. In this book I have therefore avoided any deep mathematics; a graphic solution of every problem is given where such a solution is useful, and I. Have in simple language endeavoured to advise or lay down a course of action in almost every case. And although the course of action recommended may sometimes be open to question as to whether it is the best, yet I think it is always good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Design of Structures: A Practical Treatise on the Building of Bridges, Roofs, &C IN undertaking this work, my principal object has been to supply the want, long and universally felt among Students of Engineering and Architecture, of a concise Text-book on Structures, requiring on the part of the reader a knowledge of elementary mathematics only. In order to obtain complete information on the subject it has been necessary, hitherto, to consult a large number of books, and these, moreover, have been generally too advanced for the average student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from De Pontibus: A Pocket-Book for Bridge Engineers For a railway company, the most satisfactory method of building bridges is either to have a permanent, competent bridge engineer in its employ, or to retain some specialist of established reputation to prepare specifications and complete detailed plans (not working drawings, however) for all its bridges, and to provide competent inspectors to see that during manufacture, shipment, and emotion the plans and specifications are strictly followed. The necessity for the specialist to stand between the pur chaser and the manufacturer Of structural steel is, as a general rule, not appreciated by the purchaser, unless he has already had some experience in letting contracts for and in the building of steel structures without engineering aid in the designing and supervision. When the purchaser puts himself in the hands of the manufacturer, he is pretty sure to get the worst of it for if the contract be let by schedule prices the strue ture is liable to be loaded down with useless metal, while if the contract he let for a lump sum the structure will probably be ruined by having the metal skinned out of it, especially in the most important parts, viz., the details. Moreover. The manufacturer is seldom capable of evolving a truly first-class design, for the reason that his training has always been in the line of his own pecuniary interests, which are to obtain the maximum Of pay for the minimum of structure; so that, even when given all the metal and money that he could ask for when preparing a design, he would not succeed in making a really good one, simply because of not knowing how. On the other hand, the specialist should stand between the contractor and the purchaser, so as to see that the latter does not take any undue advantage of the former by means of a harsh or unjust interpretation of the specifications, especially when the contractor has suffered loss or delay on account Of causes beyond his control.

Download or read book Graphics and Structural Design Classic Reprint written by H. D. Hess and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graphics and Structural Design This text is intended for the author's classes in General Engineering Design in Sibley College, Cornell University. The treatment of the subject has been kept as general as possible and is that used for his students during the past four or five years. The problems chosen for discussion are those on the border line between Civil and Mechanical Engineering. To the general designer knowledge of this subject is indispensable while acquaintance with the methods used in determining the stresses in, and the subsequent designing of, structures is of the greatest benefit to others in all designing for strength whether of machines or structures. Although the book is called "Graphics and Structural Design" the determination of the stresses has not been confined to graphical means; the other usual methods have been included. The design of a plate girder may seem out of keeping with the purpose of the book. The author formerly used a crane runway girder instead of the railway bridge, but decided that the railway girders made the more comprehensive and better problem. The design of the latter permitted the use of the moment table and acquainted the student with the usual method of treating locomotive and train loads. Incidentally, one who could design a railway plate girder was well prepared to design a runway girder, although the reverse was not so generally true. The author's practice is to use a set of problems paralleling the drawing-room work, to assign a number of these problems each week to the students upon which they recite.

This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Some Common Errors in Iron Bridge Design It appeared, therefore, that a criticism of existing bridges would be useful not only to the designer of new structures anxious to avoid the defects of the older ones, but also, and perhaps in an even greater degree, to the man who has received a legacy of imperfect structures from his predecessors, which he is desirous of utilizing as far as possible by judicious repairing and local strengthening, for it is to be noted as a good point of many of our defective bridges that they are like chains, most of the links of which are abundantly strong while occasionally a very weak one is found, which governs the strength of the whole and that thus a comparatively inexpensive local reinforcement may improve the whole structure to a very large and valuable extent. I shall now proceed as briefly as is consistent with clearness to point out what I consider to be the principal errors in structures that have come under my notice, and indicate how their defects may be remedied, if remediable, in existing and avoided in future structures.
